To solve the problem of finding the charges on the innermost and outermost conducting shells and the ratio of charge densities, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Configuration We have three concentric conducting shells with radii \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \) such that \( a : b : c = 1 : 2 : 3 \). This means we can express the radii as: - \( a = a \) - \( b = 2a \) - \( c = 3a \) ...
