Question 1:
Answer: f
All of the points A, B, C and D have the same strength of electric field. That is because the
electric fields at A, B, C and D are all 0 due to the definition of uncharged (neutral) spherical
conductor.
Moreover, the electric fields at A, B, C and D can be calculated by using Gauss’s law
