Consider two concentric conducting spherical shells. Inner shell carries an excess charge of +2μ C and outer shell carries +4μ C. In the figure, the inner shell has an inner radius of a and an outer radius of b, and the outer shell has an inner radius of c and an outer radius of d.
a) What are the excess charges on the inner surface of small shell at r=a from the center?
b) What are the excess charges on the outer surface of small shell at r=b from the center?
c) What are the excess charges on the inner surface of large shell at r=c from the center?
d) What are the excess charges on the outer surface of large shell at r=d from the center?
e) Find the magnitude of electric field, E(r), for the radius b < r < c by constructing spherical Gaussian surface of the region. ε0 = 8.85 × 10−12 C²/N·m²
f) Find the magnitude of electric field, E(r), for r > d by constructing spherical Gaussian surface of the region.
g) Which figure shows a qualitatively accurate sketch of the electric field lines in and around this system?
