Figure 1. A conducting shell with an off-center point charge.
An uncharged, solid, spherical conducting shell has an inner radius \(R_1\) and an outer radius \(R_2\). A small positive point charge \(+Q\) is placed inside the cavity of the shell at a distance \(d\) to the right of the center \(C\), where \(d < R_1\), as shown in Figure 1.
