The electric field inside a perfectly conducting hollow object is

A

`4pi`

B

infinite

C

zero

D

dependent upon the shape of the object

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The electric field inside a perfectly conducting hollow object is zero as there is no charge inside the object electrostatic shielding.
And from Gauss' law `intE"."ds=("q"_("inside"))/(epsilon_(0))`
Therefore electric field inside `E_("inside")=0`
