Electric field intensity inside a hollow charged sphere is:
Correct answer: B. Zero
- A. Maximum
- B. Zero
- C. Negative
- D. Positive
Explanation
The correct electric field intensity inside a hollow charged sphere is B. Zero. The electric field intensity inside a hollow charged sphere is zero. This is because the charges on the inner surface of the hollow sphere create an electric field that cancels out the electric field from the charges on the outer surface, resulting in no net electric field inside the sphere.

About Electrostatics
Electrostatics describes forces between charges through Coulomb's law, electric fields and field intensity, then uses electric potential to measure energy per unit charge. Capacitors store charge and electrical energy, with capacitance depending on geometry and dielectric material, not simply on the amount of charge present.
