Q.

A solid conducting sphere, having a charge Q, is surrounded by an uncharged conducting hollow spherical shell.  Let the potential difference between the surface of the solid sphere and that of the outer surface of the hollow shell be V.  If the shell is now given a charge of -4Q, the new potential difference between the same two surfaces is

Detailed Solution

When charge Q is on inner solid conducting sphere Electric field between spherical surface E=KQr2 so ,E¯dr¯=V given 

Now when a charge -4Q is given to hollow shell Electric filed between surface remain 

Question Image

unchanged E¯=KQr2

As filed inside the hollow spherical shell =0  

 potential difference between them remain unchanged  i.e E¯ dr¯=V
