Consider the semicircle as a strip with varying width according to
Let Ex be the electrical field at point P which is parallel to its diameter.


The ball is consists of many strips, so we can use superposition concept to determine the electrical field at point P.
Because all of the strips are symmetric to diameter of the ball, we can say that the electrical field at point P is
As we know, no electrical field inside a uniform charged ball, so
That's my solution.

Thank you.

the solution overlooked the fact that Ep= N Ex requires vector sum of Ex.Agreed that Ep=0 for shielding case..it doesn't mean that Ex =0. Since, Ex because of one ring cancels out the Ex of the ring exacly opposite to it.
