As we learned

Surface charge distribution -

\left ( \sigma \right )- charge per unit Area 

\dpi{100} \sigma=\frac{Q}{A}=\frac{C}{m^{2}}=Cm^{-2}

 

- wherein

(Plane sheet, sphere, cylinder etc)

 

 

All charge resides on the outer surface so that according to Gauss law, electric field  inside a shell is zero.


Option 1)

Zero

Option 2)

Constant, less than zero

Option 3)

Directly proportional to the distance from the centre

Option 4)

None of the above
