Question
A spherical portion has been removed from a solid sphere having a charge distributed uniformaly in its volume as shown in the figure then the direction of electric field at the centre C2 of the cavity.
Options
A.In + y direction
B.In - y direction
C.In + x direction
D.In + z direction
Solution
Electric field due to solid sphere = 
Now electric field at any point inside cavity
So
at any point inside cavity is along the line joining centrs c1 and c2 i.e. + x direction.
Now electric field at any point inside cavity
