A charged particle is located at the center of two concentric conducting spherical shells, as shown below. The inner shell (in blue) has inner and outer radii a and b; the outer shell (in green) has radii c and d. Both shells may also carry a net charge. The plot shows the electric flux of a Gaussian spherical surface centered on the particle as a function of the radius r. Using Gauss’s law and the plot, find expressions for the following (in terms of Φ0): (a) The charge of the particle in the center (b) The net charge on the blue conducting shell (c) The net charge on the green conducting shell
