A uniformly charged sphere, made of insulating material, has a radius a and a total charge of 2Q. The sphere is concentric with a conducting spherical shell that has inner radius b and outer radius c. (see figure). The shell has charge of 2Q as well a a) Using Gauss's Law, and with adequate explanation, derive an expression for the electric field inside the sphere, r

a) Using Gauss’s Law, and with adequate explanation, derive an expression for the electric field inside the sphere, r<a)
b) Using Gauss’s Law, and with adequate explanation derive an expression for the electric field outside the sphere, but before the inner surface of the shell a<r<b)
c) Using Gauss’s Law, and with adequate explanation derive an expression for the electric field inside the metal
shell, b<r<c
d) Using Gauss’s Law, and with adequate explanation derive an expression for the electric field outside the metal shell, r>c,
