Net charge on dipole is zero, so it will not affect the charge distribution and electric field on the outside but the charge distribution inside the shell will disturbed.
Shown in the figure is a shell made of a conductor. It has inner radius a and outer radius b, and carries charge Q . At its centre a dipole is placed…
