So will the superposition of all three charges systems be 0 or will the superposition of only the external 2 charge systems be zero? And even if their sum is zero, which is true, then what can we comment about their INDIVIDUAL fields?

From what I understand there will definitely be a non zero field at the centre due to the presence of an internal charge. What i can't understand is that will E(surface) + E(q1) = 0? The field lines are attached.

Thanks for the reply Simon! From what I know charges outside the conductor and on the surface arrange themselves in such a way that the field inside is 0. So i would think that the superposition of the fields due to Q+q (surface charge) and q1 should be zero. But that does not necessarily mean...
