Q
Q: A hollow spherical conductor carries a charge Q. What is the electric field inside the cavity?
Solution:
Inside the cavity of a hollow conductor, the electric field is zero due to the shielding effect of the conductor.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand that a hollow spherical conductor is a type of conductor that has a space (cavity) inside it.
Step 2: Know that when a conductor carries a charge (Q), the charge distributes itself on the outer surface of the conductor.
Step 3: Remember that electric fields inside a conductor are always zero when in electrostatic equilibrium.
Step 4: Realize that the cavity inside the hollow conductor is shielded from external electric fields by the conductor itself.
Step 5: Conclude that because of this shielding effect, the electric field inside the cavity is zero.
