Physics · Electrostatic Potential
हिन्दीGiven below are two statements: Statement I: The potential at the center of a uniformly charged thin spherical shell is zero. Statement II: The electric field inside a uniformly charged thin spherical shell is zero. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Correct answer · Option 4
Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.
Explanation
Electric field inside the shell is zero (Statement II correct), but potential is equal to surface potential \( q/(4\pi\varepsilon_0 R) \), not zero (Statement I incorrect).
