If a hollow metal sphere is positively charged, the electric field strictly inside the sphere is:
A. Negative and uniform
B. Positive and uniform
C. Zero
D. Depends on the radius
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
According to Gauss's Law in electrostatics, all excess charge on a conducting body resides entirely on its outer surface. Since there is no net charge enclosed within the hollow interior, the electric flux and consequently the electric field everywhere inside the hollow conducting sphere is exactly zero.
