The radii of the inner and outer spheres of a spherical capacitor are $9\,cm$ and $10\,cm$ respectively. If the dielectric constant of the medium between the two spheres is $6$ and the charge on the inner sphere is $18 \times 10^{-9}\,C$,calculate the potential of the inner sphere,given that the outer sphere is earthed.
