touch it with a charged object....
No, a hollow sphere can hold a larger electric charge compared to a solid sphere of the same diameter because the charge resides on the outer surface in both cases. In a hollow sphere, the charge distributes uniformly on the outer surface, allowing it to hold more charge without experiencing as much repulsion between like charges as a solid sphere.
No, the charge of a hollow sphere and a solid sphere of the same diameter will be the same as long as they are both made of the same material. In both cases, the charge resides on the outer surface of the sphere due to electrostatic repulsion.
When a charge is placed on a hollow conducting sphere, the net charge distributes itself evenly on the outer surface of the sphere. This is because charges repel each other and seek to reach a state of equilibrium, spreading out as much as possible on the surface of the sphere.
If the sphere is conducting, all the charge is distributed uniformly on the outer surface of the sphere.
Inside a hollow charged sphere, the electric potential is constant and zero throughout the interior of the sphere. This is because the electric field due to the charges on the outer surface cancels out within the hollow region, resulting in no work done on a test charge to move it within the hollow sphere.
Yes, a hollow metal sphere is electrically neutral because the charges inside cancel each other out, resulting in a net charge of zero.
The charge all resides on the surface of the sphere, whether or not there's anything inside the surface. In principle, there's no limit on the amount of charge that can be jammed onto the sphere. The only limit is a practical one, that is, how much charge you can move and transfer to the sphere before it starts arcing back to the machinery or the support that's holding it.
Zero, because the electric field inside a charged hollow sphere is zero. This is due to the Gauss's law and symmetry of the charged hollow sphere, which results in no net electric field inside the sphere.
The amount of charge on the sphere is the total electric charge present on the surface of the sphere.
The formula for calculating the moment of inertia of a hollow sphere is I (2/3) m r2, where I is the moment of inertia, m is the mass of the sphere, and r is the radius of the sphere.
The formula for calculating the charge density of a sphere is Q / V, where is the charge density, Q is the total charge of the sphere, and V is the volume of the sphere.
An electric charge cannot be established or maintained inside a conductive container. This is the basis of the Faraday Cage, used to isolate a working space from electric fields.
