If a hollow metal sphere is positively charged, the electric field strictly inside the sphere is:
A. Zero
B. Positive and uniform
C. Depends on the radius
D. Negative and uniform

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
According to Gauss's Law in electrostatics, all excess charge on a conducting body resides entirely on its outer surface. Since there is no net charge enclosed within the hollow interior, the electric flux and consequently the electric field everywhere inside the hollow conducting sphere is exactly zero.

A transformer has 50 turns in the primary coil and 1000 turns in the secondary coil. If the primary voltage is 220V, what is the secondary voltage?
A. 22000 V
B. 440 V
C. 4400 V
D. 11 V

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The transformer equation relates voltages to the number of turns: V_secondary / V_primary = N_secondary / N_primary. We have N_p = 50, N_s = 1000, and V_p = 220V. Substituting the values gives V_s / 220 = 1000 / 50. V_s = 220 * 20 = 4400 Volts. This is a step-up transformer, increasing the voltage strictly by a factor of 20.
