Question:
Two spherical cavities, of radii a and b, are hollowed out from the interior of a (neutral) conducting sphere of radius R (Fig. 2.49). At the center of each cavity a point charge is placed???call these charges qa and qb.?
(a) Find the surface charges ?a, ?b, and ?R.?
(b) What is the field outside the conductor??
(c) What is the field within each cavity??
(d) What is the force on qa and qb??
(e) Which of these answers would change if a third charge, qc, were brought near the conductor?
a qa R 9b b

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
