Question
Draw the electric field lines due to a uniformly charged thin spherical shell when charge on the shell is (a) positive and (b) negative.
✓
Answer
The electric field lines are shown in the figure. For a positively charged shell, the field lines are directed in radially outward direction and for negatively charged shell, these are directed in radially inward direction.
