Two concentric spherical conducting shells of radii a = 0.300 m and b = 0.580 m

Question

Two concentric spherical conducting shells of radii a = 0.300 m and b = 0.580 m are connected by a thin wire, as shown in Figure P25.50. If a total charge Q = 10.0 µC is placed on the system, how much charge settles on each sphere? inner sphere ___C outer sphere ___C

Two concentric spherical conducting shells of radii a = 0.300 m and b = 0.580 m are connected by a thin wire, as shown in Figure P25.50. If a total charge Q = 10.0 A Mu C is placed on the system, how much charge settles on each sphere? inner sphere ___C outer sphere ___C

Explanation / Answer

Since this is a conductor, and we know that charge only resides on the surface. Since the
two shells are connected by a wire, the charge would go as outside as possible, so the
charge would just go to the outer sphere. As a result, there would be no charge on the
inner sphere, and 10.0
