Q.

A spherical conducting shell of inner radius R1  and outer radius R2 has charge Q. Now a charge q  is placed inside the shell but not at centre, then surface charge densities with their nature on inner and outer surfaces of the shell are respectively,

Detailed Solution

Due to induction -q , will induce on inner surface of shell Q . 

As the total charge of shell is Q, so charge equilibrium condition in Q+q will be on the outer surface of shell. 

The charge distribution on inner surface of shell would be non- uniform , because electric field at any outside point (r>R1)  due to inside charges (q and -q) has to be zero which is possible only when -q is distributed non-uniformly. 

Charge on outer surface would be uniform
