$A$ hollow metal sphere of radius $R$ is uniformly charged. The electric field due to the sphere at a distance $r$ from the centre is:

  • A
    increases as $r$ increases for $r < R$ and for $r > R$
  • B
    zero as $r$ increases for $r < R$,decreases as $r$ increases for $r > R$
  • C
    zero as $r$ increases for $r < R$,increases as $r$ increases for $r > R$
  • D
    decreases as $r$ increases for $r < R$ and for $r > R$
