Question
(III) A point charge Q rests at the center of an uncharged thin spherical
(c) beyond the shell? (d) How does the shell affect the field due to Q alone? How does the charge Q affect the shell?

Transcribed Image Text:Conductor
FIGURE 16–34 A charge inside a
neutral spherical metal shell induces
charge on its surfaces. The electric
field exists even beyond the shell,
but not within the conductor itself.
