Shown in the figure is a shell made of a conductor. It has inner radius and outer radius , and carries charge . At its centre a dipole is placed as shown then:
Choose an option
Show full solutionCorrect option: B
Correct answer
BElectric field outside the shell is the same as that of a point charge at the centre of the shell.
Step-by-step explanation
Net charge on dipole is zero, so it will not affect the charge distribution and electric field on the outside but the charge distribution inside the shell will disturbed.
