a

On the outer surface of S, the charge density is Q2πR2

b

The electric field is Zero at all points inside S

c

At a point just outside S, the electric field is double the field at a point just inside S

d

At any point inside S, the electric field is inversely proportional to the square of its distance from C

Detailed Solution

As a charge Q is placed at center there will be induced charge -Q at inner surface of sphere. hence charge a charge of additional Q is induced on the outer surface of the spherical shell.

⇒charge density 2Q4πr2=Q2πr2

Just outside S, the charge and shell will act as a 2Q charge placed at C, therefore the field will be double that of just inside the shell.

At any point inside S, the electric field is only due to the charge Q placed at C, hence the electric field is inversely proportional to the square of its distance from C
