B)
Glass B
C)
Glass C
D)
All three have equal non-zero pressure at the bottom.
E)

A charge Q accumulates on the hollow metallic dome, of radius R, of a Van de Graaff generator. A probe measures the electric field strength at various points outside the sphere surface. If the probe is initially at a distance 3R from the sphere's center and then is moved to 5R, by what factor will the electric field reading change?
a. 3/5 c. 5/3 b. (5/3)2 d. (3/5)2
