So thin metallic spherical shell contain charge Q. A point charge q is placed at the center of the shell and another charge q1 is placed outside it. All the three charges are positive. The force on the charge at the center is..

The force on the central charge would indeed be zero. This is because the charge at the center is shielded form the outside charge by the conducting charged shell, which acts like a Faraday cage.
