Question: Figure shows two nonconducting spherical shells fixed in place on an x axis. Shell 1 has uniform surface charge density +4.0 C/m 2 on

Figure shows two nonconducting spherical shells fixed in place on an axis. Shell 1 has uniform surface charge density +4.0 µC/m2 on its outer surface and radius 0.50 cm, and shell 2 has uniform surface charge density –2.0 µC/m2 on its outer surface and radius 2.0 cm; the centers are separated by = 6.0 cm. Other than at = ∞, where on the axis is the net electric field equal to zero?
