In case of electrostatic shielding of a cavity, following two statements are given
S1 At any point inside the cavity, electric field is zero.
S2 At all points inside the cavity, the potential is same.
Which of the following is correct?

Correct option is A

Correct answer is A
Explanation:
For electrostatic shielding:
· Due to the absence of electric charges inside a cavity surrounded by a conductor, the electric field inside the cavity is zero.
· Since the electric field is zero everywhere inside the cavity, the potential does not vary and remains constant at all points.
Hence, both S and S are true. Furthermore, S (the electric field being zero) is the cause of S (the constant potential at all points inside the cavity).
