Question

A hollow metal sphere of radius 5 cm is charged such that the potential on its surface is 10 V. The electric field at the centre of the sphere will be (A) 50 V/m (B) 10 V/m (C) 5 V/m (D) zero

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Charge in a hollow metal sphere is distributed at the surface of the sphere. Hence, the electric field inside the hollow sphere is zero every where.

Q. A hollow metal sphere of radius 5cm is charged such that the potential on its surface is 10V. The electric field at the centre of the sphere will be

50 V/m

10 V/m

5 V/m

zero

Charge in a hollow metal sphere is distributed at the surface of the sphere. Hence, the electric field inside the hollow sphere is zero every where.

Q. A hollow metal sphere of radius $5 c m$ is charged such that the potential on its surface is $10 V$ . The electric field at the centre of the sphere will be

Charge in a hollow metal sphere is distributed at the surface of the sphere.
Hence, the electric field inside the hollow sphere is zero every where.
