Okay, that makes a lot of sense! I guess I didn't really think of how the wire was affecting the field. When you have two conductors connected by a wire can you almost think of the as one thick shell? Since there can never be a field inside a solid conductor? Thank you!

Homework Statement We are given two concentric conducting shells centered around a common origin. Within the inner shell there is a positive point charge q and somewhere outside the two shells is another positive point charge q. The question wants the field lines for this system and then again...
