Question

FIGURE EX24.2 shows a cross section of two concentric spheres. The inner sphere has a negative charge. The outer sphere has a positive charge larger in magnitude than the charge on the inner sphere. Draw this figure on your paper, then draw electric field vectors showing the shape of the electric field.

Short answer

The direction of the electric field for two concentric oppositely charged spheres is discovered

Step-by-step solution

. Given information

The figure is

Step 2. On your paper, draw this figure, then draw electric field vectors to depict the shape of the electric field.

The cross section of two concentric spheres is depicted in the image, with the inner sphere being negative and the outer sphere being positive.

The current constantly flows from the positive charge to the negative charge in the electric field.

The electric field flows in two directions: from the positively charged outer sphere to the negatively charged inner sphere, and from the positively charged outer sphere to the negatively charged inner sphere.
