Two spherical cavities, of radii a and b, are hollowed out from the interior of a (neutral) conducting sphere of radius R (see attatched image). At the center of each cavity a point charge is placed. Call these charges qa and qb. What is the field outside the conductor and what is the field within each cavity?
In Figure (a) below, a particle of charge +Q produces an electric field of magnitude Epart at point P, at distance R from the particle.

Consider two imaginary spherical surfaces surrounding a point charge +Q. One is a sphere of radius 10 cm and the other is a sphere of radius 20 cm. Which statement about the net flux through these surfaces is correct? correct? The net flux through the larger sphere is the same as the net flux through the smaller sphere. The net flux through the larger sphere is half the net flux through the smaller sphere. The net flux through the larger sphere is four times the net flux through the smaller sphere. The net flux through the larger sphere is one fourth the net flux through the smaller sphere. The net flux through the larger sphere is twice the net flux through the smaller sphere.
Two spherical, hollow conductors are concentrically nested as shown in the cross-sectional diagram below and electrically isolated from each other. A net charge of -3 nC is divided between the conductors, with a total of -12 nC on the inner conductor and +9 nC on the outer one. The charges are, of course, free to move between the surfaces within each shell but cannot move from one shell to the other. The inner conductor has an inner radius of a=2 cm, outer radius of b=3 cm. The outer conductor has an inner radius of c=6 cm, an outer radius of d=8 cm. a (a) In equilibrium, all of the excess charge is found on the surfaces. Why is there no charge between a and b, nor between c and d? (b) Determine the net charge on each surface (ie how much charge is there at r = a, at r = b, at r = c and at r= = d).

Assume that a ball of charged particles has a uniformly distributed negative charge density except for a narrow radial tunnel through its center, from the surface on one side to the surface on the opposite side. Also assume that we can position a proton anywhere along the tunnel or outside the ball.
