A sensitive meter is kept in a closed metal box, and a charged cloud passes near the box. Why is the field inside the box almost zero?
Charges on the metal rearrange until the field inside the metal is zero
The box becomes charged evenly on its inside surface
The metal reflects the charges of the cloud back into the air
The metal absorbs the electric field of the cloud
