A solid insulating sphere of radius a is concentric
with a thin spherical conducting shell of radius b. The inner
sphere has a total charge +Q distributed uniformly throughout
its volume and the outer shell has a total charge -Q.
A.
What is the volume charge density on the inner
insulating sphere? Express your answer in terms of Q and a.
B.
What is the surface charge density on the outer
conducting shell? Express your answer in terms of Q and b.
+0

C.
What is the electric field (magnitude and direction) a distance r from the center of
the spheres when r <a? Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables Q, r, a, b,
and any necessary constants.
D.
What is the electric field (magnitude and direction) a distance r from the center of
the spheres in the region a <r<b?
E.
What is the electric field (magnitude and direction) a distance r from the center of
the spheres in the region r > b?
