Two questions A question about Shell Theorem and a question about center of charge

I have 2 questions about Newton's Shell Theorem.

  1. Is it valid when mass is distributed arbitrarily in 3D space? not like sphere?

    Is it valid when mass is distributed arbitrarily in 3D space? not like sphere?

  2. When it comes to electrostatic force, can we define "Center of Charge" like "Center of Mass" used in Gravitation's shell theorem? As if all of those charges distributed along the space are concentrated in one point inside the space.
