Question

A solid metallic sphere has a charge +3Q. Concentric with this sphere is a conducting spherical shell having charge -Q. The radius of the sphere is a and that of the spherical shell is b(b>a). What is the electric field at a distance R(a<R<b) from the centre.

Moderate
Solution

Electric field at a distance R is only due to sphere because electric field due to shell inside it is always zero. Hence electric field=E=3Q4πε0R2
