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?

A
$-5Q$
B
$+3Q$
C
$-4Q$
D
$+4Q$
Solution
$\frac{-Q}{4 \pi a^{2}}=\frac{q}{4 \pi(2 a)^{2}}$
$\mathrm{q}^{\prime}+\mathrm{Q}=\mathrm{q}=-4 \mathrm{\,Q}$
$q^{\prime}=-5 \,Q$
