We have a hollow metallic sphere with charge -5.0 µC and radius 5.0 cm.We insert a +10-µC charge at the center of the sphere through a hole in the surface.What charge now rests on the outer surface of the sphere?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The charge inside the sphere induces an equal and opposite charge on the inner surface of the sphere, leaving a net charge of +5 µC on the outer surface.
