# A Rubber Balloon is Given a Charge Q Distributed Uniformly Over Its Surface. is the Field Inside the Balloon Zero Everywhere If the Balloon Does Not Have a Spherical Surface? - Physics

ConceptUniformly Charged Infinite Plane Sheet and Uniformly Charged Thin Spherical Shell (Field Inside and Outside)

#### Question

A rubber balloon is given a charge Q distributed uniformly over its surface. Is the field inside the balloon zero everywhere if the balloon does not have a spherical surface?

#### Solution

No, the field is not zero everywhere, as the electric field vector due to the charge distribution does not cancel out at any place inside the balloon because of its non-spherical shape.

Is there an error in this question or solution?
