Problem
A solid spherical conductor has charge +Q and radius R. It is surrounded by a solid spherical shell with charge −Q, inner radius 2R, and outer radius 3R. Which of the following statements is true for the labeled points in the diagram? Assume these objects are isolated in space and that the electric potential is zero as the distance from the spheres approaches infinity.
