Electric Field inside the spherical shell

AI Thread Summary
The electric field inside a hollow spherical shell with charge is zero, regardless of whether there is charge inside the shell. If the shell is charged and there is also charge inside, the electric field outside the shell can be determined by the total charge present. Gauss' law indicates that the electric flux through a Gaussian surface relates to the net enclosed charge, confirming that the field inside remains zero. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding charge distribution and the implications of Gauss' law in electrostatics.

As we know there are charge on spherical shell then electrical field inside the shell will be zero.

1) If there is no charge on the spherical shell, but has charge inside the shell then what is the electric field inside and outside the shell?

2) If there is charge on the spherical shell and also have charge inside the shell then what is the electric field inside and outside the shell?

Is this spherical shell a conductor and is it hollow or solid?

Do you have a textbook that covers Gauss' law?

It's conductor and it is hollow.
 
What can you say about the distribution of the charge?

Gauss' law states that the flux through a gaussian surface is the net charge enclosed, over the permittivity of free space, what does that tell you about the field inside the sphere?
 
Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
