Find the electric work done in bringing a charge q from A to B in a sphere of charge Q distributed uniformly throughout its volume. .

Assertion: There is a solid metallic sphere. When some charge is given to the sphere then it is found that charge gets distributed uniformly on the outer surface of the sphere. Reason: Electric field intensity inside the metallic volume is zero everywhere in electrostatic condition, hence for Gaussian surface of any shape inside the metallic volume, electric flux will always be zero. According to Gauss's law, the net enclosed charge is zero.
