A point charge 'Q' is placed at the centre of a spherical cavity of radius 'b' carved inside a solid conducting sphere of radius 'a'. Then total energy of the system is: [k = (1)/(4pi in_(0))]

A metallic sphere of radius R has a small bulge of hemispherical shape on its surface. The radius of the bulge is r. If a charge Q is given to the sphere, calculate the quantity of charge on the surface of the bulge. Assume that charge is uniformly distributed on the surface of the bulge (though it is wrong !) and also on the remaining surface of the sphere.
