Consider two concentric conducting spher...

Consider two concentric conducting spheres as shown below. The outer sphere is hollow and has a total charge of `+5 mu C` charge on it, its inner radius is `R_(1)=9cm` and its outer radius is `R_(2)=10cm`. The inner sphere has a radius of `1cm` is solid and has a charge `-3mu C` on it. What is the potential of the inner surface of the spherical shell? Assume that the potential at infinite distance is zero.
