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 center

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
a = distance between center of both sphere.
By principle of super position, the net electric field at point P
`vecE=(rhor)/(3epsilon_(0))-(rho.r.)/(3epsilon_(0))` [as `veca=vecr-vecr`]
`vecE=(rhoveca)/(3epsilon_(0))` and uniform.
