Statement I: A metallic shield in the form of a hollow shell may be built to block an electric field.
Statement II: The electric field inside a hollow spherical shield is zero at every point.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsD
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
In a hollow spherical shield, the charge is present only on its surface and the intensity at every point inside the shell is zero. Hence, the metallic shield in the form of hollow shell may be used to block an electric field.
