$A$ spherical shell with an inner radius $a$ and an outer radius $b$ is made of conducting material. $A$ point charge $+Q$ is placed at the centre of the spherical shell and a total charge $-q$ is placed on the shell. Find the final charge distribution on the surfaces.

  • A
    $-Q$ on inner surface,$-q$ on outer surface
  • B
    $-Q$ on inner surface,$(-q + Q)$ on outer surface
  • C
    $+Q$ on the inner surface,$(-q - Q)$ on the outer surface
  • D
    The charge $-q$ is spread uniformly between inner and outer surface
