Physics · JEE | Electric Charges and Fields

Given below are two statements: Statement I: The electric field due to an infinite plane sheet of charge depends on the distance \( x \) from the sheet. Statement II: For a uniformly charged thin spherical shell, the electric field outside the shell is identical to that produced by a point charge placed at its center. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

1. A
   Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
2. B
   Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
3. C
   Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
