Question: A positive charge is kept (fixed) off-center inside a fixed spherical conducting shell that is electrically neutral, and the charges in the shell are allowed

A positive charge is kept (fixed) off-center inside a fixed spherical conducting shell that is electrically neutral, and the charges in the shell are allowed to reach electrostatic equilibrium. The large positive charge inside the shell causes equal in magnitude charges distributed on the inner and outer surfaces of the spherical shell. Which of the following figures best represents the charge distribution on the inner and outer walls of the shell? (Figure 1) 1 2 3 4 5
