**Exercise: Analyzing a Concentric Sphere and Conducting Shell System**

In this exercise, you are provided with a solid sphere of radius \( a = 2.00 \, \text{cm} \), which is concentric with a spherical conducting shell. The shell's inner radius is \( b = 2.00a \) and its outer radius is \( c = 2.40a \). The sphere holds a net uniform charge \( q_1 = +5.00 \, \text{fC} \), while the shell has a net charge \( q_2 = -q_1 \).

### Tasks:
1. **Find \(\mathbf{E}\) for \(0 < r < \infty\)**
   - Begin by showing all Gaussian surfaces involved.
   
2. **Plot \(\mathbf{E}\) vs \(r\)**
   - Illustrate how the electric field varies with radius.
   
3. **Find charges on the surfaces of the conducting shell**

### Mathematical Derivations and Expressions:

- **Gauss's Law Application:**
  \[
  \frac{q_{\text{enc}}}{\varepsilon_0} = \oint E \, dA
  \]

  - For a spherical symmetry: 
    \[
    \oint E \, dA = E \cdot 4\pi r^2
    \]

  - Inside the conducting material: \( E = 0 \)

### Graphical Explanation:

The diagram presented illustrates concentric spherical regions. Charge distributions are depicted with \( q_1 = +5.00 \, \text{fC} \) at the center and opposite charge on the shell, maintaining charge neutrality overall. A plot of \( E \) vs \( r \) should visually represent where the electric field is non-zero outside the charged regions and zero within the conductor.

### Key Observations:

- As the distance \( r \) increases from 0 past \( c \), the electric field \( E \) is expected to change following the inverse-square law until the conducting shell begins, where \( E \) reaches zero within the shell.

- The process involves conceptual understanding of charge distributions and how they affect electric field behavior in and around conducting materials.

This exercise applies Gauss's Law within the context of electrostatics, focusing on practical use of symmetry and charge distribution concepts.
