$A$ unit positive point charge is taken slowly through an infinitesimally thin tube that is inside a charged dielectric sphere of radius $R$, having uniform positive charge density $\rho$. The initial and final positions of the charge are marked by $A$ and $B$ at distances $2R$ and $3R$ respectively, from the centre of the sphere. In this process, the magnitude of the total work done on the point charge is $\frac{\rho R^2}{n \epsilon_0}$. The value of $n$ is : ($\epsilon_0$ is the permittivity of vacuum)

$A$ solid conducting sphere having a charge $Q$ is surrounded by an uncharged concentric conducting hollow spherical shell. Let the potential difference between the surface of the solid sphere and that of the outer surface of the hollow shell be $V$. If the shell is now given a charge $-3Q$,the new potential difference between the same two surfaces is:
