To solve the problem of finding the final charge on the inner shell after connecting two concentric spherical conducting shells with charges \( q \) and \( Q \), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the System**: We have two concentric spherical conducting shells. The inner shell has a radius \( r \) and carries a charge \( q \). The outer shell has a radius \( R \) and carries a charge \( Q \). When connected by a conducting wire, charges can redistribute between the two shells. **Hint**: Visualize the arrangement of the shells and their charges. ...
