Question 50 GCE_MODEL_QUESTIONS_VOL1 • 2025 • PHYSICS • objective

A point charge \(+Q\) with magnitude \(Q = 6.0\ \mu\text{C}\) is placed at a distance \(d = 0.040\ \text{m}\) from the centre of an isolated conducting spherical shell whose inner radius is \(a = 0.020\ \text{m}\) and outer radius \(b = 0.050\ \text{m}\). The shell is initially uncharged. (i) State the magnitude and sign of the induced charge on the inner surface of the shell. (ii) Calculate the magnitude of the electric field at a point \(P\) that lies on the line through the centre and the external charge, at a distance \(r = 0.10\ \text{m}\) from the centre of the shell (outside the shell).

Answer Options

A. (i) 0 C (no charge on inner surface); (ii) 3.0×10^7 N C⁻¹
Correct Answer B. (i) 0 C (no charge on inner surface); (ii) 1.5×10^7 N C⁻¹
C. (i) -6.0 µC (induced charge equals -Q); (ii) 1.5×10^7 N C⁻¹
D. (i) +6.0 µC (induced charge equals +Q); (ii) 7.5×10^6 N C⁻¹
Correct Answer
B
Correct Option:
(i) 0 C (no charge on inner surface); (ii) 1.5×10^7 N C⁻¹
