Question: Shouldn't the charge Q=0 inside of sphere II?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'll attach the image in just a second

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Inside the sphere, I believe it should since it's symmetrical. It's charge would be distributed equally around.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I named the solid sphere I the second spherical shell as II and the outer spherical shell as III

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Oh wait a photo included. Lol. no. Because each charge experiences the field of the inner sphere.

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Is this referring to an electric field?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well the question is: "What will be the charge inside of II?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@abb0t

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohhhh I get it!!!!!! "What will be be the charge on the inner surface of the middle shell?" I read it wrong hahah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that should have a positive charge

OpenStudy (abb0t):

If it's far away, shouldn't it be negative?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well the distance between them is R_2, so ..no

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Well seems like you answered your own question. Nicely done.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks!

Why is the outer surface of the outermost shell zero?
