Type: MCQ-fact-Medium-Class 12

What happens to the electric potential inside a cavity within a conductor when it is shielded from outside electrical influences?

A

The electric potential is constant throughout the cavity.

B

The electric potential becomes negative inside the cavity.

C

The electric potential varies depending on the charges inside.

D

The electric potential is zero in the cavity.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The electric potential inside a cavity of a conductor shielded from external influences remains constant, as indicated by the property of electrostatic shielding. The presence of charges inside does not affect the potential outside the conductor.
