If I were to put a negative charge inside a negatively charged spherical shell, will it move to the center?
Electric field inside the shell due to the shell is zero (Gauss's Law), would that mean the charge inside the sphere faces no force?
But, that doesn't make intuitive sense to me. If the negative charge was near the walls of the sphere, wouldn't the charges on the near wall push the negative charge to the centre as the force due to the charges on the wall closest to it is higher than that form the walls further away from it.
- What about in the case of a ring? Will the charge move towards the center?
