Solution:
When the outer shell is grounded, its potential becomes 0. The potential difference between the shells remains the same as before grounding (since grounding doesn't change the relative configuration of charges).
Initial potential difference:
Inner shell - Outer shell = \( 15 \, \text{V} - 10 \, \text{V} = 5 \, \text{V} \).
After grounding, the inner shell’s potential relative to the grounded outer shell becomes \( 0 + 5 \, \text{V} = 5 \, \text{V} \).
Thus, the inner shell’s potential is 5 V.
