Thread moved from the technical forums, so no Homework Template is shown.
Summary:: If the conductor is having a cavity and is provided with some charge, with the cavity too having some charge then how the potential will be affected on the outer surface of the conductor.
The center of cavity and the center of hollow sphere does not coincide.

As if their centers do not coincide then the charge distribution on the outer surface of conductor will be uniform but non-uniform for the cavity part.
But how will the charge distribution affects the potential and how it would change if no charge were given to it?

Is this another schoolwork question? Can you at least post the figure that goes with this question, so we can try to decode the situation? Thank you.
