A spherical conductor of radius 2m is charged to a potential of 120 V. It is now placed inside another hollow spherical conductor of radius 6m. Calculate the potential to which the bigger sphere would be raised 

a
20 V
b
60 V
c
80 V
d
40 V

detailed solution

Correct option is D

If charge acquired by the smaller sphere is Q then it’s potential120=kQ2                 ….(i)Also potential of the outer sphere V=kQ6                   …(ii)From equation (i) and (ii) V = 40 volt
