Select Tru or False. 1. A conducting sphere with charge Q at equilibrium has zero E field inside it. The E field outside is the same as that of a point charge Q, E=keQ/r2. The potential outside it is the same as that of a point charge Q. V= keQ/r. (r is the distance to the center). The potential inside the conducting sphere is equal to the potential at its surface. V= keQ/R. (R is the radius of the sphere)...
