If the inner surface of the shell is earthed, then identify the correct statement(s)

  • A

    The potential of both the inner and outer surface of the shell becomes zero

  • B

    Charge on the outer surface becomes zero

  • C

    Positive charge flows from the shell to the earth

  • D

    all of the above
