Answer:
Explanation:
The charge of – 5C will be spread on the outer surface of the shell . The presence of – 8C charge at the Centre will create + 8C charge on the inner surface and – 8C charge on the outer surface . The result is that the total charge on the outer surface of the shell will be – 5C + – 8C = – 13C and the inner surface will have charge of + 8C . + 8C charge will be locked to centrally situated – 8C charge and will not be neutralized by negative charge of outer surface .
