A conducting sphere that carries a total charge of $+6 \mu \mathrm{C}$ is placed at the center of a conducting spherical shell that also carries a total charge of $+6 \mu \mathrm{C}$. The conductors are in electrostatic equilibrium. (a) Determine the charge on the inner surface of the shell. (b) Determine the total charge on the outer surface of the shell.
'5) Three "thin" concentric conducting spherical shells with radii a<b<c carry charges -Q, -3Q, and +3Q, respectively: How much charge is on the outer surface of the outermost shell? +6Q +Q +4Q'

A conducting sphere that carries a total charge of $-6 \mu \mathrm{C}$ is placed at the center of a conducting spherical shell that carries a total charge of $+1 \mu \mathrm{C}$. The conductors are in electrostatic equilibrium. Determine the charge on the outer surface of the shell. [Hint: Sketch a field line diagram.]
