Exercise 3
Induced charges in a conducting shell
Theory used: Cavity in a conductor and electrostatic shieldingCharge on the surface of a conductorElectric field inside a conductor
A neutral conducting spherical shell has outer radius . In the cavity, at an arbitrary position, there is a point charge . Compute the charge on the inner surface and on the outer surface of the shell, and the magnitude of the field at from the center of the shell.
