Q.

Two concentric shells A and B have radii R and 2 R, charges qA and qBand potentials 2 V and 32V respectively. Now, the shell B is earthed and the net charges on them become qA'and qB'. Then

Detailed Solution

14πε0qAR+qB2R=2V

14πε0qA2R+qB2R=32V

Solving equations (1) and (2), we get

qAqB=12

When B is earthed, potential of B becomes zero. So, qB'=-qA'=-qA  charge on A remains same 

qA'qB'=-1

Also after earthing,

VA-VB=qA4πε01R-12R=qA8πε0R

Substituting qB= 2qA in equation (1), we get

14πε0qA2R=V2 VA-VB=V2

Since B is earthed, so VB=0 and hence VA=V2

Hence, (1) and (4) are correct.
