  3. Varies linearly with distance from the center
  4. Depends on the charge outside the sphere

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the electric field inside a uniformly charged hollow sphere?
Correct Answer: Zero
  • Step 1: Understand what a uniformly charged hollow sphere is. It means the sphere has an even distribution of electric charge on its surface.
  • Step 2: Recall Gauss's law, which relates the electric field to the charge enclosed by a surface.
  • Step 3: Visualize a point inside the hollow sphere. Since there is no charge inside the sphere, the total charge enclosed is zero.
  • Step 4: Apply Gauss's law. Since the enclosed charge is zero, the electric field inside the sphere must also be zero.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the electric field inside a uniformly charged hollow sphere is zero.
