alleryElectric field at any point inside a hollow charged conductor is
Akq/r²
Bzero
Cthe same as at the surface
Ddirected radially inward
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. zero
1. syllabus result 1 of §2.9: inside a conductor in electrostatics, E = 0.
2. Any free charges have already redistributed so the interior field is null.
3. (A) would be true for a point charge in vacuum, not for the interior of a conductor.
