$A$ metallic spherical shell has an inner radius $R_1$ and an outer radius $R_2$. $A$ charge $Q$ is placed at the center of the spherical cavity. What will be the surface charge density on $(i)$ the inner surface,and $(ii)$ the outer surface?

Three identical uncharged metal spheres are at the vertices of an equilateral triangle. One at a time,a small sphere is connected by a conducting wire with a large metal sphere that is charged. The center of the large sphere is on the straight line perpendicular to the plane of the equilateral triangle and passing through its center (see figure). As a result,the first small sphere acquires charge $q_1$ and the second acquires charge $q_2$ $(q_2 < q_1)$. The charge that the third sphere $q_3$ will acquire is (Assume $l >> R$,$l >> r$,$d >> R$,$d >> r$):
