True Or False ? 1) A solid metalic conductor in the shape of a football is given

Question

True Or False ?

1) A solid metalic conductor in the shape of a football is given a net postive charge.
The excess positive charge, as predicted by Gauss's law, is uniformly distributed over the surface of the conductor.


2) An excess charge Q is added to an isolated metal object of irregular shape.
No matter how you change the shape of this metal object,
this excess charge will always be found on its outside surface if it remains isolated.

3) Two spheres contain the same charge Q, but one sphere is twice the diameter of the other. The electric flux through the surface of the larger sphere is 4 times as great as the flux through the smaller sphere.

Explanation / Answer

1) True

2) True

3) False

I know for sure that 2 and 3 are correct because I had to answer these myself in mastering physics, but I am guessing that 1 is true as well if 2 is true. I guess you could apply the logic in a similar way to say 1 is true, but I am not completely sure.
