Positive charge Q is placed on a conducting spherical shell with inner radius R1 and outer radius R2. A particle with charge q is placed at the center of the cavity. The net charge on the inner surface of the conducting shell is

in this question, the only charge in the cavity is Q. Inside the conducting spherical shell, the electric field is zero.

While outside the shell, the electric field is given by: k(q + Q)/r²

Where;

K= is a constant which is given as, 8.99 x 10^9 N m² / C².

Q= source charge which creates the electric field

q= is the test charge which is used to measure the strength of the electric field at a given location.

r= is the radius

Explanation: Inside the conducting spherical shell, the electric field is zero since the Electric field vanishes everywhere inside the volume of a good conductor.

scientific laws are the result of testing theories and proving them to be facts.
