Answer

The charge on the inner surface of the conductor is $~~+1.2\times 10^{-9}~C$

Work Step by Step

In part (b), we found that $Q = -1.2\times 10^{-9}~C$ Since the electric field inside a conductor is zero, if we draw any Gaussian sphere within the conductor with a common center, the enclosed charge must be zero. Therefore, the charge on the inner surface of the conductor must be $~~+1.2\times 10^{-9}~C$
