Chapter 28, Problem 33PQ
Two concentric, metal spherical shells of radii a = 4.0 cm and b = 8.0 cm are separated by aluminum as shown in Figure P28.33. The inner sphere has a total charge Q at any time. If the two spheres are maintained at a potential difference of 2.0 V via an external source, calculate the current from one sphere to the other.
