PHY 102 Gauss's Law and Electrostatic Fields Objective Question
Take CBT

Question

What is the electric field inside a hollow charged conducting sphere?
Options
A Constant but non-zero
B Zero
Correct Answer
C Inversely proportional to the radius squared
D Directly proportional to the radius
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Inside a hollow conducting sphere, the electric field is zero because all the charge resides on the outer surface and the Gaussian surface inside encloses no net charge.

Hint

No enclosed charge → zero field.
