Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) : Electromagnetic Field Theory - Quiz(MCQ)
Inside a hollow conducting sphere
A)
electric field is zero.
B)
electric field is a non zero constant.
C)
electric field changes with distance from the center of the sphere.
D)
electric field changes with magnitude of the charge given to the conductor.

Correct Answer : Option (A) :   electric field is zero.


Explanation : For any conducting sphere, the charge enclosed is zero and hence, the electric field inside it is zero. This is an application of the Gauss Law. In fact Gaussian surface includes no charges inside it.
