I have a conducting spherical shell of radius R carrying charge Q0. A conducting sphere of radius r (Rr) carrying charge q is concentrically placed inside this spherical shell (somehow). Job is to find the potential at a point inside the sphere. please help !

Question

I have a conducting spherical shell of radius R carrying charge Q>0. A conducting sphere of radius r (R>r) carrying charge q is concentrically placed inside this spherical shell (somehow). Job is to find the potential at a point inside the sphere. please help !

Work out the potential at the centre of both spheres using the charges present on the surfaces, and there you are.
