The figure below shows the instant when a hollow metal box is placed in a uniform electric field, and its effect on the external field is not shown.

a. Indicate the electric charge distribution in the metal due to the external electric field. Note: If electrons move from one part of the box to another, the part with a deficiency of negatively charged electrons is now positively charged, and the part with an excess of electrons is negatively charged.
b. Draw electric field lines caused by this induced-charge distribution on the surface of the box and discuss the magnitude of the total field inside the box.
I know from the answer that the magnitude of the total field inside the box is zero, but I don't know why.

The diagram below shows two negatively charged metal spheres,
Sphere A and Sphere B. A positively charged pith ball is placed at
the three locations shown. a)At each one of the three
locations, draw two field vectors, one for each of the two charged
spheres. Label each vector as EA and EB. For
each vector, draw the correct direction of the vector, and an
approximate relative length. These vectors represent the force that
the electric field exerts on the positive...
The top left diagram below shows a 1-C positive charge placed in a uniform external electric field. The electric field in which the charge is placed is represented by field lines (drawn in red), and the resulting electric force on the charge is represented by the blue vector. Suppose the 1-C charge is removed, and is replaced, in turn, by each of the charges shown in the other three diagrams below. Assuming that the external electric field remains the same,...
