A hollow metal ball carrying an electric charge produces no electric field at points
- A Inside the sphere
- B On its surface
- C Outside the sphere
- D At a distance more than twice
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
A hollow metal ball carrying an electric charge produces no electric field at points inside the sphere because the electric field inside a conductor in electrostatic equilibrium is zero. The charges on the inner surface of the hollow sphere redistribute themselves in such a way that the electric field due to them cancels out, resulting in no net electric field inside the sphere.
