suppose you have a spherical capacitor, filled with two different dielectrics. the dielectrics are not split radially but rather one dielectric fills the upper half of the capacitor and the second the lower half. the inner conductor is charged with a charge Q.
i understand that in order for the field E to remain 0 inside the inner conductor, its charge Q must be split into two different densities. one for its upper half, the other for its lower half.
i am able to deduce the relationship between these two charges, but not to the overall charge Q.
my bad. this is actually very simple. sorry!
