Consider an isolated, thin conducting spherical shell of radius . The shell is given a charge that distributes uniformly and due to only the maximum strength of the resulting electric field has a value due to only. is another isolated thin conducting spherical shell of radius . It is given a charge that distributes uniformly and in this case, maximum strength of the resulting field has a value due to only. The two shells and are now kept in a concentric manner as shown in figure. and are points as shown in figure, at distance from the centre, respectively. [Take at ]
