$A$ spherical conducting shell of inner radius $r_1$ and outer radius $r_2$ has a net charge $Q$. $A$ point charge $-q$ is placed at the center of the shell. Determine the surface charge density on the inner and outer surfaces of the shell.

  • A
    $\frac{q}{4 \pi r_1^2}$ and $\frac{Q-q}{4 \pi r_2^2}$
  • B
    $\frac{q}{4 \pi r_1^2}$ and $\frac{Q}{4 \pi r_2^2}$
  • C
    $\frac{-q}{4 \pi r_1^2}$ and $\frac{Q+q}{4 \pi r_2^2}$
  • D
    zero and $\frac{Q-q}{4 \pi r_2^2}$
