The zero field inside a charged shell confirms which feature of Coulomb's law?
AIts dependence on sign
BIts vector nature
CIts inverse-square law
DIts link to charge mass
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Its inverse-square law
The shell result follows through Gauss's law only if the force falls exactly as 1/r^2, so it tests that exponent.
