A hollow metal sphere of radius R is uniformly charged. The electric field due to the sphere at a distance r from the centre: (a) zero as r increases for r R (b) zero as r increases for r R. (c) decreases as r increases for r R. (d) increases as r increases for r R.

Answer: (a). For r R: E = kQ/r², which decreases as r increases. So the answer is (a).
