Answer: in this question, the only charge in the cavity is Q. Inside the conducting spherical shell, the electric field is zero.
While outside the shell, the electric field is given by: k(q + Q)/r²
Where;
K= is a constant which is given as, 8.99 x 10^9 N m² / C².
Q= source charge which creates the electric field
q= is the test charge which is used to measure the strength of the electric field at a given location.
r= is the radius
Explanation: Inside the conducting spherical shell, the electric field is zero since the Electric field vanishes everywhere inside the volume of a good conductor.
