$A$ solid conducting sphere with charge $Q$ is surrounded by an uncharged concentric conducting spherical shell. Let $V$ be the potential difference between the surface of the solid sphere and the outer surface of the shell. If the shell is now given a charge of $-3Q$,the new potential difference between the two surfaces is .........$V$.
