to view the simulation, and then answer the questions below.

Mark the following statements as true or false.

(a) 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.

TrueFalse    

(b) 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.

TrueFalse    

(c) When one charged sphere is placed inside another the net electric field outside the larger sphere is always non-zero.

TrueFalse    

(d) 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.

TrueFalse    

(e) 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.

TrueFalse    

(f) 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.

TrueFalse    

(g) It is possible to have no electric field inside the outer sphere and a non-zero electric field outside the outer sphere.

TrueFalse    

(h) 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.

TrueFalse    

(i)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.

TrueFalse
