A nonconducting sphere with a cavity has volume charge density `rho`. `O_1 and O_2` represent the two centers as shown. The electric fields inside the cavity is `E_0`. Now, an equal and opposite charge is given uniformly to the sphere on its outer surface. The magnitude of electric field inside the cavity becomes

A

zero

B

`E_0`

C

`2E_0`

D

`3E_0`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Electric field will remains the same, because electric field due to surface charge distrinuted uniformly will be zero at any point inside the sphere.
