Shown in the figure is a shell made of a conductor. It has inner radius $a$ and outer radius $b$,and carries a total charge $Q$. At its centre is a dipole $\vec{P}$ as shown. In this case,

  • A
    Surface charge density on the inner surface of the shell is zero everywhere.
  • B
    Electric field outside the shell is the same as that of a point charge $Q$ at the centre of the shell.
  • C
    Surface charge density on the inner surface is uniform and equal to $\frac{(Q/2)}{4\pi a^2}$.
  • D
    Surface charge density on the outer surface depends on $|\vec{P}|$.
