SUMMARY
The electric field at a radius r from the center of two concentric conducting spherical shells, with radii a and b (where b > a) and charges +Q and -Q, is zero for any point where r > b. According to Gauss's Law, the total enclosed charge within a Gaussian surface at this radius is zero, leading to zero electric flux and consequently no electric field in that region. This conclusion is confirmed by multiple participants in the discussion.
