Regarding Gauss' Law, which of the statements regarding this situation are true? Select all that apply. Gauss' Law Click here to view the simulation, and then answer the questions below. Which of the statements regarding this situation are true? Select all that apply. For a conducting sphere with a net charge Q, the electric field inside the sphere is zero and the electric field outside the sphere is the same as the field from a point charge of charge Q placed at the center of the sphere. When one charged sphere is placed inside another the net electric field outside the larger sphere is always larger than the field due to the larger sphere alone. When one charged sphere is placed inside another the net electric field outside the larger sphere is always non-zero. As you move steadily out from the origin in this simulation the electric field changes smoothly. The field can never jump suddenly from one value to another. If the outer sphere is present the electric field between its inner radius and its outer radius (inside its solid wall, in other words) is always zero. If the outer sphere is present the way charge is distributed on the outer sphere depends only on its charge, and not on the charge of the point charge and the inner sphere. It is possible to have no electric field inside the outer sphere and a non-zero electric field outside the outer sphere. It is not possible to have a non-zero electric field inside the inner sphere and outside the outer sphere, but no electric field between the inner and outer spheres. If there is a positive point charge present at the center, the field in all regions is either zero or directed away from the center.

Explanation / Answer

(2) The electric field outside of the larger sphere is due only to the charge on the
"outside" of the outer sphere since any net charge enclosed by the outer sphere
induces an equal and opposite charge on the inner surface of the outer sphere.

(8) If there is a central charge of +q and the inner sphere is initially charged with -q
then no net charge will be left on the outer surface of the inner sphere. The outer
sphere can carry any charge since that will not produce a field in its interior.

(9) Consider the situtation in (8) above, if the outer sphere is negatively charged then
the electric field outside the outer sphere is directed towards the sphere.
