Question

A hollow metal sphere fixed on an insulating stand is charged positively. The electric potential inside the sphere is

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes the charge always reside on the surface hence inside no charge present thus potential is zero. The electric field inside a hollow metallic sphere is zero. ... Hence thepotential is the same inside as on the surface.

Answer 2

The electric potential inside the sphere is zero.

• The charges reside on the outer surface of the hollow metallic sphere.

• The charges neither induce inside the surface nor they are present inside the sphere.

• Thus whenever the charged object is bought near the sphere, the charges only reside on the outer surface.
