An astronaut is in an all-metal chamber outside the space station when a solar storm results in the deposit of a large positive charge on the station. Which statement is correct?
◦
The astronaut must abandon the chamber immediately to avoid being electrocuted.
◦
The astronaut will be safe only if she is wearing a spacesuit made of non-conducting materials.
◦
The astronaut does not need to worry: the charge will remain on the outside surface.
◦
The astronaut must abandon the chamber if the electric field on the outside surface becomes greater than the breakdown field of air.
◦
The astronaut must abandon the chamber immediately because the electric field inside the chamber is non-uniform.
