Question

For a charged hollow metal sphere with totalcharge Q andradius R centered on the origin: Select "True"or "False" for each statement.


The field in the hollow of the shell is notzero.

There is zero net charge on the outsidesurface.

The fieldfor r >> R will be thesame as the field of a point charge, Q, at theorigin.

The electric field is zero just inside themetal.

The E-field near the outside surface is normal tothe surface.

The total charge is on the outside surface.
