Question: 
-Q 
Figure 1 _ Cross section of concentric charged spherical shells. This inner Snell has radius r and charge +Q and the outer shell nas radius T + d and charge —Q 
Two concentric, thin, hollow spheres witn radii r and T + d are charged with equal and opposite charges. +Q is placed on the inner sphere and —Q IS placed on the outer sphere as shown in the 
diagram. In this problem use rather than Coulomb's constant in your answers. 
part 1) 
Write an expression to describe the magnitude ot the electric field between the üo spheres at a radius R, where r < R < r + d. 
part 2) 
Write an expression tor the potential between the inner and outer sphere. 
part 3) 
Write an expression tor the capacitance ot this system.
