Question

A small conducting spherical shell with inner radius a and outer radius b is concentric with a larger conducting spherical shell with inner radius c and outer radius d. The inner shell has a total charge of -2q and the outer shell has a total charge of +3q.


Select True or False for the following statements.                                                                                                           
               The total charge on the outer surface of the large shell         is +1q.            
               The total charge on the outer surface of the small shell         is -2q.            
               The electric field in the region r < a is zero.            
               The total charge on the inner surface of the large shell         is +2q.            
               The electric field in the region c < r < d is         zero.            
               The total charge on the inner surface of the small shell         is -2q.            
               The electric field in the region r > d is zero.
