If a sphere has a net charge of zero, then it experiences no electric field right? But if you bring a + charged rod it, the electrons experience a field and all move towards it. But the net charge for the sphere is still zero since same number and electrons cancelling out. So do we say the electric field of the sphere is still zero when the electrons clearly experience a field?
Also if an charged object is in several electric fields, but the forces cancel out (static equilbrium), do we still say that object experiences an electric field?
Thanks.
