$A$ spherical conductor of radius $2 \, m$ is charged to a potential of $120 \, V$. It is now placed inside another hollow spherical conductor of radius $6 \, m$. Calculate the potential to which the bigger sphere would be raised. (in $, V$)

An empty thick conducting shell of inner radius $a$ and outer radius $b$ is shown in the figure. If it is observed that the inner face of the shell carries a uniform charge density $-\sigma$ and the outer surface carries a uniform charge density $\sigma'$,if the outer surface of the shell is earthed,then identify the correct statement$(s)$.

Which of the following statements is always true for a charged conductor?
$(1)$ The electric field just outside the surface is parallel to the surface.
$(2)$ $E_{in} = 0$
$(3)$ Electric field lines are perpendicular to the equipotential surface.

$(a)$ $A$ conductor $A$ with a cavity as shown in Figure $(a)$ is given a charge $Q$. Show that the entire charge must appear on the outer surface of the conductor.
$(b)$ Another conductor $B$ with charge $q$ is inserted into the cavity keeping $B$ insulated from $A$. Show that the total charge on the outside surface of $A$ is $Q+q$ [Figure $(b)$].
$(c)$ $A$ sensitive instrument is to be shielded from the strong electrostatic fields in its environment. Suggest a possible way.

The dimensions of an atom are of the order of an $\mathring{A}$ $(10^{-10} \ m)$. Thus,there must be large electric fields between the protons and electrons. Why,then,is the electrostatic field inside a conductor zero?

An empty thick conducting shell of inner radius $a$ and outer radius $b$ is shown in the figure. If it is observed that the inner face of the shell carries a uniform charge density $-\sigma$ and the outer surface carries a uniform charge density $+\sigma$, choose the correct statement related to the potential of the shell.
