Question

For a hollow charged sphere, what is the electric field outside the sphere?
Options
A E = Q/(4πε₀r²)
Correct Answer
B E = constant
C E = 0
D E = Q/(4πε₀a³) r
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Outside a hollow charged sphere, the electric field behaves as if all the charge is concentrated at the center: E = Q/(4πε₀r²).

Hint

Same as a point charge.
