A cross-sectional diagram of two concentric circular thin shells centered at a common origin. The inner circle has radius R and is labeled +Q. The outer circle has radius 2R and is labeled -2Q. A dashed line extends horizontally from the center through both circles to indicate the radial direction r. No other labels, lines, text, or axes appear.
Cross section of two concentric charged conducting shells.
Two thin, concentric, conducting spherical shells have radii \(R\) and \(2R\). The inner shell carries a net charge \(+Q\), and the outer shell carries a net charge \(-2Q\). The electric potential is defined to be zero at an infinite distance from the shells (\(V = 0\) as \(r \rightarrow \infty\)). Which of the following graphs best represents the electric potential \(V\) as a function of distance \(r\) from the common center of the shells?
