A thin spherical shell of radius a is surrounded
concentrically by a thick metallic shell of internal radius b and external
c. It is known that the thick shell has zero charge and the thin shell has
a constant surface density of charge σ.
Determine:
a) The surface density of charge on the inside and outside of the shell
thick metallic.
The electric field at a distance r, from the center of the spheres when:
b) r <a
c) a <r <b
d) b <r <c
e) r> c
