A hollow metal sphere of radius 5 cm5\ \text{cm} is charged such that the potential on its surface is 10 V10\ \text{V}. The electric field at its centre is

Options

  1. A0 V/m0\ \text{V/m}
  2. B10 V/m10\ \text{V/m}
  3. C2 V/m2\ \text{V/m}
  4. D0.5 V/m0.5\ \text{V/m}

Correct answer

A. 0 V/m0\ \text{V/m}

Step-by-step solution

For a hollow metal sphere, the charge resides entirely on its outer surface.

The electric field inside a charged conductor is zero everywhere.

Therefore, the electric field at the centre of the sphere is 0 V/m0\ \text{V/m}.

Answer: 0 V/m0\ \text{V/m}
