A point object with a charge +Q is place...

A point object with a charge `+Q` is placed at the center of a conducting shell of inner radius `R`, outer radius 2R, and a charge of `-4Q`. A thin - walled conducting shell of radius 3 R and a charge of +4Q is concentric with the point object and the first shell. Defining V = 0 at infinity, find all the distances from the center at which the electric potential is zero .

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the electric potential due to the charges and find the distances from the center where the potential is zero. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the System**: - We have a point charge \( +Q \) at the center of a conducting shell with inner radius \( R \) and outer radius \( 2R \), which has a charge of \( -4Q \). - There is another conducting shell with radius \( 3R \) and charge \( +4Q \) that is concentric with the first shell. ...
