$A$ neutral conducting solid sphere of radius $R$ has two spherical cavities of radius $a$ and $b$ as shown in the figure. The centre-to-centre distance between the two cavities is $c$. Charges $q_a$ and $q_b$ are placed at the centres of the cavities, respectively. The force between $q_a$ and $q_b$ is:

For the situation shown in the figure,mark the correct statement. $A$ point charge $q$ is placed at a distance $d$ from the surface of a neutral hollow conductor of radius $R$.

$A$ and $B$ are two concentric conducting spherical shells. $A$ is given a positive charge $+Q$ while $B$ is earthed. Then:

$A$ solid spherical conducting shell has inner radius $a$ and outer radius $2a$. At the center of the shell, a point charge $+Q$ is located. What must the charge of the shell be in order for the charge density on the inner and outer surfaces of the shell to be exactly equal?
