A conducting sphere A of radius ‘a’  with charge Q, is placed concentrically inside a conducting shell  B of radius ‘b’. The sphere B is earthed. ‘C’  is the common center of  A and B. Study the following statements.

i. The potential at a distance r  from  C, where r<a is zero.
ii. The Potential difference between  A and  B is 14πε0Q1a1b
iii. The potential at a distance r from C, where  arb  is 14πε0Q1r1b
Which of the above statements are correct?
 

  1. A

    Only (i) and (ii)

  2. B

    Only (ii) and (iii)

  3. C

    Only (i) and (iii)

  4. D

    All

Solution:

Charge +Q will flow into earth.

B will have Q

 For arbVr=kQrkQb

 For r<a , Vr=kQakQb

Potential at B is zero.
