Outside a charged shell, the field acts as if charge were
ASpread over a bigger sphere
BConcentrated at the centre
CCancelled out by the shell
DPlaced on the surface
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Concentrated at the centre
Gauss's law shows the exterior field equals that of a point charge of the same total charge at the centre.
