After a point charge, +7Q, is placed inside the cavity of a conductor, electrostatic equilibrium is attained. After an additional charge of amount, -5Q, is placed on the surface of the inner cavity, electrostatic equilibrium is attained once again. What is the net charge on the inner and outer surfaces of the conductor, respectively? a. +7Q, +2Q b. -2Q, -7Q c. +7Q, -2Q d. -7Q, +2Q e. -7Q, -2Q
