Question

The electric field at the center of a uniformly charged spherical shell is

• A. Zero
• B. \( k \cdot \frac{Q}{R^2} \)
• C. \( k \cdot \frac{Q}{R} \)
• D. \( k \cdot \frac{Q}{2R^2} \)

Hint:

The electric field inside a uniformly charged spherical shell is always zero, regardless of the point inside the shell.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

According to Gauss's law, the electric field inside a uniformly charged spherical shell is zero at all points inside the shell, including the center. This result is due to the symmetry of the shell. The net flux through a Gaussian surface inside the shell is zero, implying that the electric field is zero.
