Question 1.28)
(a) A conductor A with a cavity as shown in Fig. 1.36(a) is given a charge Q. Show that the entire charge must appear on the outer surface of the conductor.
(b) Another conductor B with charge q is inserted into the cavity keeping B insulated from A. Show that the total charge on the outside surface of A is Q + q [Fig. 1.36(b)].
(c) A sensitive instrument is to be shielded from the strong electrostatic fields in its environment. Suggest a possible way.
Ans:-
(a)
Let us consider a Gaussian surface that is lying wholly within a conductor and enclosing the cavity. The electric field intensity E inside the charged conductor is zero.
Let q is the charge inside the conductor and is the permittivity of free space.
According to Gauss’s law
Flux
Here, E = 0
Charge inside the conductor is zero.
The entire charge Q appears on the outer surface of the conductor.
(b)
The outer surface of conductor A has a charge of amount Q. Another conductor B having charge +q is kept inside conductor A and it is insulated from A. Hence, a charge of amount −q will be induced in the inner surface of conductor A and +q is induced on the outer surface of conductor A. Therefore, total charge on the outer surface of conductor A is Q + q.
(c)
A sensitive instrument can be shielded from the strong electrostatic field in its environment by enclosing it fully inside a metallic surface. A closed metallic body acts as an electrostatic shield.

User ratings
User ratings are of utmost importance because claiming to have an uptime over 99% is different from actually having it. So be mindful and go through the reviews before you choose.
We offer a 14 day grace period for invoice payment before the associated service is suspended for nonpayment. This 14 day period starts on the invoice due date, not on the date the invoice is issued.
