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.
