As we learnt in

Inside the sphere (P lies inside the sphere) -

E_{in}=0

V_{in}=constant

- wherein

 

 

 

The electric field for a uniformly charged spherical shell is given in the figure. Inside the shell, the field is zero and it is maximum at the surface and then decreases

E\propto \: 1/r^{2}

E= \frac{Q}{4\pi \varepsilon _{0}\cdot r^{2}}   outside shell and zero inside.
