Question

Charge distribution in a metallic sphere kept in a uniform electric field

Answer 1

$\huge{\fbox{\fbox{\bigstar{\mathfrak{\red{Satsriakal}}}}}}$

The metal sphere will have a constant electric field throughout the surface as you said that the applied field is uniform. There is no charge inside. So there can't be any electric field inside the sphere So no electric field inside the sphere means that the gradient of potential inside the sphere is zero.❤️
