To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze each part of the question regarding a point charge \( +Q \) placed at the center of an uncharged spherical conducting shell with inner radius \( a \) and outer radius \( b \). ### Step 1: Electric Field for \( r < a \) To find the electric field inside the spherical conducting shell (for \( r < a \)), we can use Gauss's law. 1. **Choose a Gaussian surface**: A spherical surface of radius \( r \) where \( r < a \). 2. **Apply Gauss's law**: ...
