AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to find the self-energy values \( W_1 \) and \( W_2 \) for each shell, the interaction energy \( W_{12} \) between the shells, and the total electric energy of the system. ### Step 1: Calculate the Self-Energy of Shell 1 (\( W_1 \)) The self-energy of a charged shell can be calculated using the formula: \[ W_1 = \frac{1}{2} \frac{q_1^2}{R_1} ...
