Select each of the following statements about conductors and insulators that are true. Select all that are True. The electric field inside a conductor is always 0 If an insulating sphere has a net positive charge, the electric field outside of the insulator will point away from the insulator If we place excess charge onto an initially neutral insulator, the charges will stay in place If a conducting sphere has a net positive charge, the electric field outside of the conductor will point radially in towards the conductor If we place excess charge on an initially neutral insulator, the charges will spread out until E=0 in the material The electric field inside an insulator is always 0 If we place excess charge on an initially neutral conductor, the charges will spread out until E=0 in the material

All of the following statements regarding charged conductor are true except: A) the direction of the electric field is perpendicular to the surface B) the surface charge density is large on surface of small curvature C) the direction of the electric field inside the conductor depends on the sign of the charge D) the electric field around the conductor near the surface may be different at different points E) the work done in moving the charge from the surface to point inside the conductor is always zero
Geeta Y.
State whether each of the following statements is true or false. Justify your answer in each case. (a) Electrolyte solutions conduct electricity because electrons are moving through the solution. (b) If you add a nonelectrolyte to an aqueous solution that already contains an electrolyte, the electrical conductivity will not change.
