Electric Charges and Fields

A hollow metal sphere of radius RR is uniformly charged. The electric field due to the sphere at a distance rr from its centre:

  1. A.Increases as rr increases, for r<Rr<R and for r>Rr>R
  2. B.Is zero as rr increases for r<Rr<R, and decreases as rr increases for r>Rr>R✓
  3. C.Is zero as rr increases for r<Rr<R, and increases as rr increases for r>Rr>R
  4. D.Decreases as rr increases, for r<Rr<R and for r>Rr>R

You have the answer. The worked solution — and why the other three were written — is part of a paid pack.
