Electrostatic shielding by a conductor cavity protects against?
ACharges placed inside the cavity
BOutside electrical influences
CIts own surface charge
DEvery field in any direction
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Outside electrical influences
Shielding works one way only: it blocks outside fields but not those from charges inside.
