Question

Consider a hollow spherical conductor with total charge +5e. The outer and inner radii are a and b, respectively. A charge of –3e is placed at the center of the sphere. Indicate whether each of the following statements is true or false.

The charge on the outer surface of the sphere is +5e. T/F
The charge on the outer surface of the sphere is +2e. T/F
The charge on the inner surface of the sphere is -3e. T/F
The charge on the inner surface of the sphere is +3e. T/F
The total net charge of the sphere +2e. T/F

Explanation / Answer

Consider a hollow spherical conductor with total charge +5e. The outer and inner radii are a and b, respectively. A charge of –3e is placed at the center of the sphere. Indicate whether each of the following statements is true or false. The charge on the outer surface of the sphere is +5e. [False] The charge on the outer surface of the sphere is +2e. [ True] The charge on the inner surface of the sphere is -3e. [ False] The charge on the inner surface of the sphere is +3e. [True] The total net charge of the sphere +2e. T/F [ False]
