Question

Consider the following three concentric systems two thick shells and a solid sphere all conductors The radii in the increasing order are a b c d and e The small sphere is given an excess charge of 3 C and the smaller shell is given an excess charge of 7 C The larger shell is electrically neutral The system quickly comes to electrostatic equilibrium state a Note that there are 5 conducting surfaces What are the electric charges values and signs on the each of them Are these charges distributed uniformly

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given question, the small sphere was provided with an excess charge of +3 C, while the smaller shell was given an excess of -7 C, it should be -7 C and not 7 C.

So, in light of that, to determine the electric charges values & signs on each of them, we have:

on a = +3 C

on b = -7 C

on c = -7 C

on d = +3 C

on e = -7 C
