Electric Charges and Fields

One of the fundamental properties is the electromagnetic property. Charge cannot be destroyed by any process and this contributes formally to the law of charge conservation.

Question

1. Consider the two concentric conducting spherical shells shown in
the figure in shaded grey. The inner shell has inner radius a, outer
radius b, and net charge Q. The outer shell has inner radius c, outer
radius d, and a net charge of –Q.
a. Determine the electric field in all regions of space (r < a,
a <r< b, b < r < c, c < r < d, and r> d) as a function of r, the
distance to the center of the shells.
b. Make an accurate plot of E(r) from r = 0 to r> d. Make sure to
indicate values on both the horizontal and vertical axes.
c. How is the charge distributed on the surfaces of each spherical
shell? I.e., what is the total charge on the inner surface of the first sphere (at r = a), at the
outer surface of the first sphere (at r= b), on the inner surface of the second sphere (at r=
c), and on the outer surface of the second sphere (at r= d)?
d. A point charge Q is now placed at the center of the two spherical shells. How is charge
now distributed on the four surfaces at r= a, r= b, r= c, and r= d?
