MCQ
The electric field inside a hollow conducting sphere:
- AIncreases towards the centre.
- BDecreases towards the centre.
- CIs finite and constant throughout.
- ✓Is zero.
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
Is zero.
As there are no charges inside the hollow conducting sphere, as all charges reside on it surface. So, electric field inside the hollow conducting sphere is zero.
