Given below are two statements: Statement I : An electric dipole is placed at the center of a hollow sphere. The flux of the electric field through the sphere is zero but the electric field is not zero anywhere in the sphere.Statement II : If R is the radius of a solid metallic sphere and Q be the total charge on it. The electric field at any point on the spherical surface of radius r (< R) is zero but the electric flux passing through this closed spherical surface of radius r is not zero..In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Question

Given below are two statements:

Statement I : An electric dipole is placed at the center of a hollow sphere. The flux of the electric field through the sphere is zero but the electric field is not zero anywhere in the sphere.

Statement II : If R is the radius of a solid metallic sphere and Q be the total charge on it. The electric field at any point on the spherical surface of radius r (< R) is zero but the electric flux passing through this closed spherical surface of radius r is not zero..

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Both Statement I and Statement II are true

Statement I is false but Statement II is true

Statement I is true but Statement II is false
