Question

A hollow metal sphere of radius R is uniformly charged. The electric field due to the sphere at a distance r from the centre

Accepted Answer

For a hollow charged sphere, the electric field inside ($r < R$) is zero. Outside ($r > R$), the field is $E = \frac{kq}{r^2}$, which decreases as $r$ increases.
