A spherical cavity of radius is made inside a solid uncharged conducting sphere of radius and a charge is placed inside the cavity at its centre. A point charge is placed outside the sphere at a distance '' from centre of the sphere, as shown. point is inside the sphere (at a distance from centre of the sphere) and point is inside the cavity ( at distance from centre of cavity). .
