Explanation / Answer

For the given data

insulating sphere, a = 3.7 cm

rho = -191 uC/m^3 uniformly charged

uncharged conducting shell

b = 11.6 cm

c = 13.6 cm

a. at d = 31 cm

Ex = k*rho*4*pi*a^3/3*d^2 = 8.98*10^9*(-191*10^-6)*4*pi*0.037^3/3*0.31^2

Ex =-3786.86739572 V/m

b. on the inner surfacce of conducting shell

potential Vb = k(rho*4*pi*a^3)/3*b

Vb = 8.98*10^9*-191*10^-6)*4*pi*0.037^3/3*0.116 = -3137.2237649 V

c. hence

Va = k*rho*4*pi*a^3/3*a = k*rho*4*pi*a^2/3 = -9835.6204521 V

d. Vc = k*rho*4*pi*a^3/3*b ( because electric field inside the conductor is 0)

hence

Vc = Vb

hence

Vc - Vb = 0 V
