Question

Inside a charged hollow sphere, at any point the electric field \( E \) and potential \( V \) are:

• A. \( V = 0 \) and \( E = 0 \)
• B. \( V = 0 \) and \( E = \text{constant} \)
• C. \( V = \text{constant} \) and \( E = 0 \)
• D. \( V = \text{constant} \) and \( E = \text{constant} \)

Hint:

Inside a charged spherical shell, the electric field is zero, but the potential is constant throughout the region inside the shell.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Inside a charged hollow sphere, the electric field is zero due to the symmetry of the charge distribution. However, the potential is constant everywhere inside the sphere. Thus, the correct answer is option (3).
