gracy said:1)why charge +4q is distributed /splitted in such a manner i.e +2q &+2q and then why one +2q is put in the circle of inner radius c and one +2q is placed in the circle of inner radius of d.
blue_leaf77 said:Such charge redistribution for the larger sphere is required to satisfy the requirement that the electric field inside a conductor must be zero. In order to have E=0E=0 for c<r<dc
gracy said:2)what is the difference between the positions p3 and p4 because my textbook states at P3 electric field would have some magnitude but at P4 electric field would be zero because it lies inside the conductor then why P3 is not considered to be inside the conductor?
Then as the problem progressed I included a graph in post #19Zondrina said:the two points are at different locations. The electric field at P3P3 is due to the opposing charges on the inside of the outer conductor and outside of the inner conductor. There must be an electric field at P3P3 as a result, whereas at P4P4 the electric field should be zero because you are on the conductor itself. P3P3 is not inside a conductor because it is outside the inner conductor which has a charge on its surface and P3P3 is inside the outer conductor which also has a charge on its inner surface.
