Question

A hollow metal sphere of radius R is uniformly charged. The electric field due to the sphere at a distance r from the centre :

• A. increases as $r$ increases for $r < R$ and for $r > R$
• B. zero as r increases for $r < R$, decreases as r increases for $r > R$
• C. zero as r increases for $r < R$, increases as r increases for $r > R$
• D. decreases as $r$ increases for $r < R$ and for $r > R$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

zero as r increases for $r < R$, decreases as r increases for $r > R$

Answer 2

The correct option is (B) :zero as r increases for $r < R$, decreases as r increases for $r > R$
