A spherical portion has been removed from a solid sphere having a charge distributed uniformly in its volume as shown in the figure. The electric field inisde the emptied space is

A

zero everywhere

B

non zero and uniform

C

non-uniform

D

zero only at its centre

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
we can see that electric field intensity inside the cavity is uniform and its direction is parallel to the line joining the centre of solid sphere and centre of the spherical cavity.

Assertion: Electric potential on the surface of a charged sphere of radius R is V. Then electric field at distance r=R/2 from centre is V/(2R) . Charge is distributed uniformly over the volume. Reason: From centre to surface, electric field varies linearly with r. Here r is distance from centre.
