Zero. By Gauss' or Coulomb's law - eclectic field inside a conductor or a charged empty shell is always zero. If there were a field inside a sphere it would never be able to reach equilibrium with itself.

∙ 10y agoGauss's Law states that the magnitude of electric field within a non-uniform, charged
sphere is zero. This is because the divergence of the field is zero (if, as you go outward
from the center, yet beneath the surface of the sphere, you test the field strength, you will
find that the charges directed toward the center and pointing outward all balance out exactly).
However, at the surface of the sphere, the only field vectors present at those pointing
outward, making the surface of the sphere the only non-zero electric field intensity.
In all cases, if you have a uniformly-charged sphere with source charge placed in the center, then the symmetry based on electric field flux at each radius, moving outward in infinitesimal volumes, cancels out. This symmetry makes the NET electric field magnitude at each point within the sphere exactly zero. This is taken exactly from Gauss's Law and the divergence of the electric field vectors throughout the sphere, based on infinitesimal radii.
On the surface of the sphere, however, you can expect the total charge, Q, to the present.

The electrical intensity inside a charged hollow sphere is?
The electric FIELD inside a charged hollow CONDUCTOR is zero.
What will be the electric field intensity at the center of a hollow charged sphere?
If the charge is evenly distributed over the sphere ... as it would be if the sphere is a conducting material ... then the electric field at the center of the sphere is zero. If the sphere is not a conductor and the charge hasn't been applied to it symmetrically, then the magnitude and direction of the electric field at the center depend on every little detail of exactly how it's distributed on the sphere.
The electric field inside a hollow uniformly charged sphere is zero Does this imply that the potential is zero inside the sphere Explain?
If the net charge enclosed by a surface is zero then the field at all points on the surface is not zero because gauss's law states that if the charge enclosed by a surface is zero then the flux through the surface is zero which depends upon the magnitude of field and the angle that it makes with the area vector at each point and so it is not necessary that the field will be zero at all points of the surface.
How is a charged particle accelerated when the electric field inside the dees of a cyclotron is zero?
it is the magnetic field not the electric field which accelerates the ion inside the dees
What is the region surrounding a charged object in which other objects are attracted or repelled by an electric force called?
Electromagnetic field. An electric field.
The electrical intensity inside a charged hollow sphere is?
The electric FIELD inside a charged hollow CONDUCTOR is zero.
What is the electric field half way to the centre of a conducting sphere charged to a potential of 15v?
electric field inside the conducting sphere is ZER0..! because their are equivalent charges all around the sphere which makes the net force zero hence we can say that the electric field is also zero.!

What is the strength of an electric field that will balance the weight of a 5.7g plastic sphere that has been charged to -7.6nC?
suck my nuts
What is the electric field on the surface of the conductor?
The field is zero inside only if any charge is evenly distributed on the surface. That's a mathematical theorem, sorry I don't have the proof handy. But when you measure the electric field inside a charged sphere, the charge you use might be large enough to redistribute the surface charge. In this case the electric field will not be zero. Only if you measure at the centre.
Where does the energy of a charged capacitor reside?
In the electric field inside the dielectric (or insulating) medium separating the two plates
Why electron does not fall in one of the charged plate of opposite polarity when moving inside electric field?
An electron, being negatively charged, will move towards positively charged plates.

It's the electric field.
