Questions  

A metallic sphere of radius R is carrying a charge Q. Then work done by an external agent in supplying on an additional charge Q to the sphere is 

a
7Q28πε0R
b
5Q212πε0R
c
3Q24πε0R
d
3Q28πε0R

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Capacitance of an isolated sphere, C=4πε0R∴Ui=Q22C=Q28πε0R,Uf=(2Q)22C=4Q22(4πε0R)=Q22πε0R∴W=Uf-Ui=Q22πε0R-Q28πε0R=3Q28πε0R
