For a spherical shell,which of the following statements is correct?

  • A
    If the potential inside it is zero,then it is necessarily electrically neutral.
  • B
    The electric field in a charged conducting spherical shell can be zero only when the charge is uniformly distributed.
  • C
    The electric potential due to induced charges at a point inside it will always be zero.
  • D
    None of these.
