The correct answer is:

The electric field intensity at a point lying outside the sphere (non-conducting) is

E=14πε0·qr2

i.e.  E1r2    i

The electric field intensity at the surface (r=R),

E=14πε0qR2

E1R2

where, R being the radius of sphere,

The electric field intensity inside the sphere is

E=qr4πε0R3

Er

At the centre of sphere, r=0, E=0
