Question

100%

A solid conducting sphere carrying charge qq has radius a. It is inside a concentric hollow conducting sphere with inner radius bb and outer radius c. The hollow sphere has no net charge. Take V = 0 as r→∞. Use the electric field for this system:

E(r)= 0 for r≤a

kq/r^2 for a<r<b

0 for b<r<c

kq/r^2 for r>c

to calculate the potential V at the following values of r.

A. r = c (at the outer surface of the hollow sphere);

B. r= b (at the inner surface of the hollow sphere);

C. r = a (at the surface of the solid sphere);

D. r = 0 (at the center of the solid sphere).
