Say I have a hemispherical shell and I want to find the electric field inside the shell, assuming that it does not create much of a difference even if I consider that the shell is closed from the bottom or not.
Now I want to find whether the electric field inside the shell is zero or not.
The re...
it is conducting This information belongs in the question, not in a comment. You can edit your question.
I know the field at the centre of a hemispherical shell. How do you know that? You don’t know how the charge is distributed.
Could I say that the value of field which is inside the centre of the shell is also same as the value at the surface of the shell? Why do you think they would be the same?
Finding the potential and/or field of a conducting hemispherical shell is a difficult problem. See this question, my answer, and the references within.
Sir, I assuming uniform charge distibution at the surface of the hemisphere
Sir , I actually want to draw an analogy between and a metallic solid hemisphere and a holow metallic hemisphere , as both are conducting so could I say that as inside a solid metallic hemisphere the field is zero then inside a hollow one also the filed should be zero ?
I assuming uniform charge distibution at the surface of the hemisphere. You said “it is conducting”. A conducting hemispherical shell will not have a uniform charge distribution. You cannot make both assumptions.
Could I say that as inside a solid metallic hemisphere the field is zero then inside a hollow one also the filed should be zero? No, because solid metal and empty space are very different things.
As I already explained, a conducting hemispherical shell does not have a uniform charge distribution. Look at the pictures in the answer I linked to. Do you see how nonuniform it is?
