Question


false answer choices

If a point charge is located inside a uniformly charged spherical shell, the net force on it is exactly half of what it would be if it were the same distance outside of the shell. All points on an equipotential line have the same voltage value, relative to some specified reference point. A dipole consists of two point charges having the same magnitude of charge, but opposite sign. A net excess charge of Q is placed on an isolated conductor. Exactly Q/2 of the charge remains on the outside and the remaining Q/2 will be on the inside of the conductor. The gravitational field of the earth at the location of the International Space is zero. Electric potential is related to locations in an electric field.

Explanation / Answer

a). This statement is FALSE since no charge can reside inside the spherical shell.

b). This is TRUE.

c). This is TRUE.

d). This is FALSE since if excess charge is kept inside the conductor then due to the fact that no charge can reside inside the conductor, "-Q" charge gets develop at the inside surface of conductor to neutralise the inside charge and "+Q" charge gets develop on the outer surface to balance the charges. While if excess charge is kept outside the surface of conductor then it will remain there only since "no charge can reside inside the conductor"

e). This is FALSE since gravitational field of earth on International Space Station is apporximately 89%.

f). This is TRUE.
