Question:

For a given charged conducting hollow sphere arrange the electric field at the given points A, B and C in decreasing order :

Options:

$E_B>E_C>E_A$

$E_A=E_B>E_C$

$E_C>E_B>E_A$

$E_A>E_B>E_C$

Correct Answer:

$E_B>E_C>E_A$

Explanation:

Electric Field inside the hollow sphere is zero.

Outside the sphere electric field decreases with distance from centre.

$\Rightarrow E_A< E_C< E_B$
