The electric field strength at a far-off point P due to a point charge + q, located at the origin O is 100 millivolts/metre. The point charge is now enclosed by a perfectly conducting hollow metal sphere with its centre at the origin O. The electric field strength at the point, P,
A
remains unchanged in its magnitude and direction
B
remains unchanged in its magnitude but reverse in direction
C
would be that due to a dipole formed by the charge + q at O and - q induced
