A charge $1.2×10^{-8}C$ is uniformly distributed on the conducting sphere of radius 5 cm. The magnitude of the electric field at the centre of the conducting sphere is |
$1.6 × 10^4 N/C$ $2.16 × 10^4 N/C$ zero $4.32 × 10^4 N/C$ |
zero |
The correct answer is Option (3) → zero For a conducting sphere, the electric field inside the conductor (including at the centre) is zero by Gauss's Law : $\vec{E}_{\text{inside}} = 0$ Electric field at the centre = 0 N/C |
