A positive point charge $q$ is placed at a distance $2 R$ from the surface of a metallic shell of radius $R$. The electric field at centre of shell due to induced charge has magnitude

A

Zero

B

$\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} \frac{q}{9 R^2}$

C

$\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} \frac{q}{4 R^2}$

D

$\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} \frac{q}{R^2}$

Solution

(b)

$\vec{E}_{ int }+\vec{E}_{ ext }=0$

$\vec{E}_{ int }=\vec{E}_{ ext }$

$\vec{E}_{ int }=\frac{k q}{9 R^2}$
