A thin conducting spherical shell of radius 
carries no net charge. A point charge 
is placed at its center, and another point charge 
is placed outside the shell at a distance 
from the center. Which statement is correct about the electric field and forces?
. Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsA
By Gauss's law, the field inside a conducting shell due to charges on the shell or outside it is zero.
The central charge feels no net force from the shell or the external charge.
The shell's outer surface charge distribution changes due to the external charge, but the field inside remains zero.
