•• Consider a point charge q outside a spherically symmetric, rigid charge distribution of zero total charge. (a) Use Gauss’s law to prove that the distribution exerts no force on q. (b) Next, show that no assembly of external charges can exert a force on a spherically symmetric, rigid distribution of zero total charge.
