Given : Electric field (E) = 500 V/m and potential difference (V) = 3000 V.
We know that electric field (E) = 500 = V or d = 3000 = 6 m d 500
[where d = Distance between point chargeand A]Correct Option: A

Charge resides on the outer surface of a conducting hollow sphere of radius R. We consider a spherical surface of radius r < R.
By Gauss's theorem,∮E→ . ds→ = 1 × charge enclosed ε0 or E.4πr2 = 1 × 0 ⇒ E = 0 ε0
i.e. electric field inside a hollow sphere is zero.Correct Option: A
