You place a metal ball with an excess of positive charge on it inside
a metal bucket with a metal lid as shown. Where is the charge
distributed when electrostatic equilibrium is reached? Select all
that apply.
A.
On the outer surface of the bucket
B.
On the inner surface of the bucket
C.
Throughout the metal of the bucket
Since the bucket is made of metal and the charge cannot reside inside the metal so the charge would get distributed on the outer surface of the bucket and on the inner surface of the bucket as well.

A positive charge is kept (fixed) off-center inside a fixed
spherical conducting shell that is electrically neutral, and the
charges in the shell are allowed to reach electrostatic
equilibrium.The large positive charge inside the shell is roughly 16 times
that of the smaller charges shown on the inner and outer surfaces
of the spherical shell. Which of the following figures best
represents the charge distribution on the inner and outer walls of
the shell?

Situation 1: You have a metal cube, measuring L on each side. The metal is in electrostatic equilibrium and has a net 4. charge of Q,. The cube has a cavity within it, however-where there is no metal. The shape of this cavity is not known. Somewhere within the cavity rests a point charge, q,. Its exact location is unknown, but it is not in contact with the inner wall of the cavity At a certain point P, on the...
