RE-NEET 2026 Physics Electric Field MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

A point charge Q is placed inside a cavity within a solid isolated conducting sphere. Consider points A, B and C as shown in the figure, where the magnitudes of the electric fields are Eₐ, E_b and E_c respectively. The points B and C are at the same distance from the center of the solid sphere. The correct option is:

Question diagram
A

Eₐ ≠ 0, E_b = E_c

B

Eₐ = 0, E_b > E_c

C

Eₐ ≠ 0, E_b < E_c

D

Eₐ = 0, E_b = E_c

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Inside a conductor, the electric field is zero. Since B and C are equidistant from the center, their fields must be equal.
