Question
A thin, metallic spherical shell contains a charge $Q$ on it. A point charge q is placed at the centre of the shell and another charge $q_1$ is placed outside it as shown in figure. All the three charges are positive. The force on the charge at the centre is:

Answer


Electric field due to $Q\  q,$ inside the spherical shell is zero.
