Question

A small conducting spherical shell with inner radius a and outer radius b is concentric with a larger conducting spherical shell with inner radius c and outer radius d. The inner shell has a total charge of -1q and the outer shell has a total charge of +3q.


Select True or False for the following statements.
The total charge on the outer surface of the large shell is +2q.
The electric field in the region r > d is zero.
The total charge on the inner surface of the small shell is -4q.
The electric field in the region c < r < d is zero.
The total charge on the inner surface of the large shell is zero.
The total charge on the outer surface of the small shell is -1q.
The electric field in the region r < a is zero.

Explanation / Answer

The total charge on the inner surface of the large shell is +1q. T The total charge on the inner surface of the small shell is -1q. F The radial component of the electric field in the region r
