Question

what is the pattern of the electric field in the space around the sphere

Answer 1

Answer:

The electric field is zero inside a conducting sphere. The electric field outside the sphere is given by: E = kQ/r2, just like a point charge.

Electric field inside a sphere zero Because:

The electric field immediately above the surface of a conductor is directed normal to that surface. ... Now, the gaussian surface encloses no charge, since all of the charge lies on the shell, so it follows from Gauss' law, and symmetry, that the electric field inside the shell is zero.
