Given below are two statements : Statement I : Two concentric conducting spherical shells are charged. The charge on the outer shell is varied keeping the charge on inner shell constant, as a result the electric potential difference between the two shells does not change. Statement II : In the above situation, the electric field in the region between both the shells depends only on the charge existing on the inner sh

Options

  1. ABoth statement I and statement II are correct.
  2. BStatement I is correct and statement II is incorrect.
  3. CStatement I is incorrect and statement II is correct.
  4. DBoth statements I and statements II are incorrect.

Correct answer

A. Both statement I and statement II are correct.

Step-by-step solution

Statement I: The potential difference between two concentric conducting spherical shells depends only on the charge of the inner shell. Changing the charge on the outer shell does not affect this potential difference. Correct. Statement II: The electric field between the shells depends only on the charge of the inner shell (by Gauss's law), not the outer shell. Correct. Conclusion: Both statements are correct. Answer: (1).
