i know it s zero because of the electrostatic equilibrium, but in terms of point charges : from the charge distribution on the sphere surface if we consider 2 point charges opposite to each other in direction : it s logical that at the point in the mid distance between them the electric field will be zero : (kq1/r1^2)=(kq2/r2^2) where q1=q2 and r1=r2, but if we consider a point closer to a point charge than the other charge : q1=q2 also but r1 not equal r2, therefore it s logical that there will be net field at this point, but there is no field at any point inside the sphere, so what is the solution of this contradictory ?
