The figure shows a spherical conducting shell, inner radius a, and outer radius b, with a point charge + Q inside. In case (1) the point charge is at the center of the shell, and in case (2) it is off-center. Use Gauss's law to predict the charge on the inner surface and on the outer surface of the shell, in each case. In each case, describe the electric field in the three regions r < a,="" a="">< r="">< b,="" and="" r=""> b.
In the figures draw a typical electric field line starting from the charge, extending vertically in the diagram, and ending where you think it should end. If you feel the need, for clarity, draw a bigger diagram.
Please read the question carefully. There should be a total of 6 answers to this including all solutions, derivations and reasoning.
