What is the direction of the electric field at point P?
A point charge Q is located in an enclosed cavity within a hollow conducting metal
sphere. The region in the cavity between the point charge and the sphere is empty
space. Point P is completely within the metal.
O The electric field at point P is zero.
O The direction depends on the value of the charge on the outer surface of the
sphere.

If a Q charge is kept at the center then according to Gauss's law the total amount of electric flux created by the charge Q is Q0.

Where 0 is the permittivity of free space.

This total amount of flux will be passing through the inner surface of the hollow sphere. Hence the amount of induced charge in the inner surface will be -Q.

If the induced charge in the inner surface of the hollow sphere is positive then the charge at the center will be negative in sign.

Here given a total charge of +9.6 C accumulates on the inner surface of the hollow sphere.

Hence the charge of the enclosed point charge will be -9.6 C
