An uncharged spherical conductor with an internal cavity is shown in the below figure. A positive charge of magnitude q is placed inside the cavity. Use the closed surface S along with Gauss's law to answer below questions. Give your answer in terms of q, the magnitude of the charge placed inside the cavity, and physical constants (ke or ε0). a. How much charge is induced on the inner surface of the conductor? Charge induced on the inner surface of the conductor is b. How much charge is induced on the outer surface of the conductor? Charge induced on the outer surface of the conductor is c. What is the magnitude of the electric field at a distance R from the center of the spherical conductor? R is greater than the radius of the conductor. Magnitude of electric field is
