A hollow metal sphere of radius R is uniformly charged. The electric field due to the sphere at a distance r from the center

Question

A hollow metal sphere of radius R is uniformly charged. The electric field due to the sphere at a distance r from the center, increases as r increases for r R and for r > R ., zero as r increases for r R , decreases as r increases for r > R ., zero as r increases for r R , increases as r increases for r > R ., decreases as r increases for r R and for r > R .

Inside the sphere, electric field is zero. Outside the sphere, electric field is E = 1 4 π ε 0 Q r 2 ∴ It decreases with r , outside the sphere.
