Consider the following statement about electric field intensity and electric potential. A. The electric field intensity due to a charged spherical shell is inversely proportional to square of its radius. B. The electric potential due to a point charge is inversely proportional to the distance between charge and the point.
  1. Both A and B are incorrect
  2. Only B is correct
  3. Only A is correct
  4. Both A and B are correct

Solution

Only B is true. As for statement A, it is not mentioned whether the point in outside or inside the shell, further statement A is true only for the point on the surface of the spherical shell. .
