Questions  

If on the concentric hollow spheres of radii  r and R>r  the charge  Q is distributed such that their surface densities are same then the potential at their common centre is

a
QR2+r24π∈0R+r
b
QRR+r
c
Zero
d
QR+r4π∈0R2+r2

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Let say charge q1 is on inner sphere and  charge q2 is on outer sphere  q1+q2=Q  and  q14πr2=q24πR2  (given) q1=Qr2R2+r2 and q2=QR2R2+r2 Potential at common centre=V=V1+V2 =14π∈0Qr2R2+r2r+QR2R2+r2R=QR+r4π∈0R2+r2∵Potential inside shell = potential on the shell
