Answer 2

Hey.

Here is the answer.

A hollow metal ball carrying an electric charge produces no electric field at points :

(c) inside the sphere.

Explanation :

Electric field is a vector quantity and works on vector addition

Now the field from all points on the sphere converge at the centre and they are all the same magnitude and unidirectional.

So they cancel each other out and the net electric field at the centre is 0

In other words, In a hollow sphere the electric field is zero because inside the hollow sphere there is some internal electric field and since electric field is vector quantity and when external electric field act on hollow sphere the the internal electric field cancel out the the external electric field and hence there is no field inside the sphere.

Thanks.
