!The electric field inside a conducting hollow sphere is zero due to the properties of conductors in electrostatic equilibrium. When a conductor is charged, the charges redistribute themselves on the surface of the conductor. Inside the hollow region, the electric field cancels out because the charges on the surface create an opposing field that results in a net electric field of zero.
When a charge is placed inside a conducting hollow sphere, it induces a charge on the inner surface of the sphere. This induced charge creates an electric field that exactly cancels the field produced by the charge within the hollow region. As a result, the electric field inside the conducting material and in the hollow space remains zero.
No, the size or shape of the conductor does not affect the electric field inside a hollow sphere. As long as the conductor is in electrostatic equilibrium, the electric field inside the hollow region will always be zero, regardless of the sphere's dimensions or surface shape.
Yes, the electric field inside a solid conducting sphere is also zero. Similar to a hollow sphere, charges in a solid conductor redistribute themselves on the surface, leading to a cancellation of electric fields within the bulk of the conductor. Therefore, both inside a hollow and a solid conducting sphere, the electric field remains zero.
Gauss's law states that the electric flux through a closed surface is proportional to the charge enclosed within that surface. For a Gaussian surface placed inside a conducting hollow sphere, there is no charge enclosed (since the charge resides on the surface). Consequently, the electric flux is zero, which implies that the electric field inside the hollow region must also be zero.
