Which of the statements regarding this situation are true? Select all that apply.
1-When one charged sphere is placed inside another the net
electric field outside the larger sphere is always larger than the
field due to the larger sphere alone.
2-If there is a positive point charge present at the center, the
field in all regions is either zero or directed away from the
center.
3-When one charged sphere is placed inside another the net electric
field outside the larger sphere is always non-zero.
4-It is possible to have no electric field inside the outer sphere
and a non-zero electric field outside the outer sphere.
5-If the outer sphere is present the electric field between its
inner radius and its outer radius (inside its solid wall, in other
words) is always zero.
6-It is not possible to have a non-zero electric field inside the
inner sphere and outside the outer sphere, but no electric field
between the inner and outer spheres.
7-For a conducting sphere with a net charge Q, the electric field
inside the sphere is zero and the electric field outside the sphere
is the same as the field from a point charge of charge Q placed at
the center of the sphere.
8-As you move steadily out from the origin in this simulation the
electric field changes smoothly. The field can never jump suddenly
from one value to another.
9-If the outer sphere is present the way charge is distributed on
the outer sphere depends only on its charge, and not on the charge
of the point charge and the inner sphere.
