MCQ
The electric field inside a hollow conducting sphere:
  • A
    Increases towards the centre.
  • B
    Decreases towards the centre.
  • C
    Is finite and constant throughout.
  • D
    Is zero.

Answer

  1. Is zero.

Explanation:

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.

In a laboratory experiment on emission from atomic hydrogen in a discharge tube, only a small number of lines are observed whereas a large number of lines are present in the hydrogen spectrum of a star. This is because in a laboratory:
  1. The amount of hydrogen taken is much smaller than that present in the star.
  2. The temperature of hydrogen is much smaller than that of the star.
  3. The pressure of hydrogen is much smaller than that of the star.
  4. The gravitational pull is much smaller than that in the star.
