Students have asked these similar questions

An infinitely long conducting cylindrical rod with a positive charge λ per unit length is surrounded by a conducting cylindrical shell (which is also infinitely long) with a charge per unit length of −2λ and radius r1, as shown in the figure. What is σinner, the surface charge density (charge per unit area) on the inner surface of the conducting shell? What is σouter, the surface charge density on the outside of the conducting shell? (Recall from the problem statement that the conducting shell has a total charge per unit length given by −2λ.)

A small conducting spherical shell with inner radius aa and outer radius b is concentric with a larger conducting spherical shell with inner radius c and outer radius d (Figure 1). The inner shell has total charge +2q, and the outer shell has charge −2q. What's the total charge on the inner surface of the small shell? What's the total charge on the outer surface of the small shell? What's the total charge on the inner surface of the large shell? What's the total charge on the outer surface of the large shell?

A small conducting spherical shell with inner radius a and outer radius b is concentric with a larger conducting spherical shell with inner radius cc and outer radius d (Figure 1). The inner shell has total charge +2q, and the outer shell has charge −2q. What is the direction of the electric field for b<r<c? Calculate the magnitude of the electric field for c<r<d. Calculate the magnitude of the electric field for r>d.
