a

The ratio of the potential at the center of the shell to that of the point at  12R from center towards the hole will be  1α12α

b

The magnitude of electric field a point, located on a line passing through the hole and shell’s center at a distance 2R from the center of the spherical shell will be reduced by  αV02R

c

The magnitude of electric field at the center of the shell is reduced by  αV02R

d

The potential at the center of the shell is reduce by  2αV0

answer is A.

Detailed Solution

Vcenter=KQRKqR

=KR[σ4πR2σα4πR2]

=4πRσ.K[1α]

V(R/2)=KQRKq(R/2)

=4πRσK[12α]

    VcenterVR/2=1α12α

ΔV=KqR=KR.Q4πR2×α(4πR2)=V0α
