A conducting shell having total charge 4C is placed inside a uniform EF of 60 N/C. Net force on 2C charge placed inside shell is and conductor is held fixed. Then select CORRECT options.

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
B, D
Solution:

 

Given net force on the internal charge is -30 N.

Therefore force due to the shell is -150 N, so B is correct.

The external field is screened inside the cavity; induced charge on inner surface supplies the given -30 N contribution, so D is correct.
