​Two concentric spheres are shown in the figure below.

Two concentric spheres are shown in the figure below. The inner sphere is a solid conductor and carries a charge of +5.00 μC uniformly distributed over its outer surface. The outer sphere is a conducting shell that carries a net charge of -8.00 μC. No other charges are present. The radii shown in the figure have the values R1 = 10.0cm, R2 = 20.0cm, and R3 = 30.0 cm.
