A solid insulating sphere of radius a = 2 cm carries a net positive charge Q = 9 nC uniformly distributed throughout its volume. A conducting spherical shell of inner radius b = 4 cm and outer radius c = 6 cm is concentric with the solid sphere and carries an initial net charge 2Q. Find: a. the charge distribution on the shell when the entire system is in electrostatic equilibrium. b. theelectricfieldatpoint:(i)AwithrA =1cm,(ii)BwithrB =3cm,(iii)CwithrC =5cm from the center of the spheres. c. the electric potential at point C with rC = 5 cm from the center of the spheres. d. the net electric flux through the outer( most) spherical surface.
