Question

If one penetrates a uniformly charged solid sphere, the electric field $E$:

• A. increases
• B. decreases
• C. is zero at all points
• D. remains same as at the surface

Answer 1

The correct option is B decreases

The Electric field inside a solid sphere is directly proportional to the distance from centre.

Hence, $E$ decreases as we move from the surface of the sphere to its centre.
