The inner shell is set at an electric potential of -100 V , and the outer shell is set at an electric potential of +100 V, with cach potential defined relative to the conventional reference point. Let Qiand Qo represent the net charge on the inner and outer shells, respectively, and let r be the radial distance from the center of the shells.
