Question

Why electric field inside a hollow conductor is zero

Answer 1

In electrostatics free charges in a good conductor reside only on the surface. So the free charge inside the conductor is zero. So the field in it is caused by charges on the surface. Since charges are of the same nature and distribution is UNIFORM, the electric fields cancel each other.

Answer 2

Ello user !!!!!!!!

Here is your answer,

===================================================

So as all the charges lies on the surface of conducting sphere, using symmetry and Gauss law the electric field is zero inside the hollow conducting sphere.

So, we can say that the electric field inside any hollow conducting surface is zero provided that there are no charges enclosed by that region.

HOPE THIS HELPS YOUU :)
