A uniformly charged thin spherical shell produces what field at points inside it?
AZero everywhere inside
BEqual to q/4 pi e0 R^2
CInfinite at the centre
DDirected radially inward
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Zero everywhere inside
A Gaussian sphere inside the shell encloses no charge, so Gauss's law gives zero field there.
