Question

1) An uncharyed conductor has a hollow cavity inside of it. Within this cavity there is a charge of +10 Which statement uC that does not touch the conductor. There are no other charges in the vicinity. w about this conductor is true? There may be more than one correct choice.) A) The inner and outer surfaces of the conductor each contain charges of -5uC B) The net electric field within the material of the conductor points away t- from the +10pC charge. C) The outer surface of the conductor contains+10 uC of charge and the inner surface contains D) Both surfaces of the conductor carry no excess charge because the conductor is uncharged. E) The inner surface of the conductor carries a charge of-10 uC and its outer surface carries no excess charge

Explanation / Answer

C.
The electric field inside the conductor is zero. This requires the inner surface to have an opposite charge to the point charge inside the cavity. The outer surface must have +10 micro farad to make the net charge on the conductor zero.
