Answer:
Correct Answer: 27. (a)
Solution:
- (a) Charge resides on the outer surface of a conducting hollow sphere of radius
By Gauss’s theorem,
or,
i.e. electric field inside a hollow sphere is zero.
Electric field inside the charged conducting sphere or shell,
And for uniformly charged non-conducting sphere,
