If some charge is given to a solid metal...

If some charge is given to a solid metallic sphere, the field inside remains zero and by Gauss's law all the charge resides on the surface. Suppose now that Colomb's force between two charges varies as `1//r^(3)`. Then, for a charged solid metallic sphere

A

field inside will be zero and charge density inside will be zero.

B

field inside will not be zero and charge density inside will not be zero.

C

field inside will not be zero and charge density inside will be zero.

D

field inside will be zero and charge density inside will not be zero.
