Question
A solid conducting sphere carrying a charge -q has a radius a. It is inside a concentric hollow conducting sphere with inner radius b and outer radius c. (a) Derive expressions for the electric field magnitude in terms of the distance r from the center for the regions r<a, a<r<b, b<r<c, and r>c.
(b) Graph the electric field as a function of r from r=0 to r=2c
(c) If the outer hollow sphere has a net charge of +Q then recalculate the electric field magnitude in terms of the distance r from the center for the regions r<a, a<r<b, b<r<c, and r>c.
