A spherical metal shell A of radius R_A and a solid metal sphere B...
A spherical metal shell of radius BR_B < are kept far apart and each is given charge . Now, they are connected by a thin metal wire. Then
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
Inside a conducting shell, electric field is always zero. Therefore, option (a) is correct. When the two are connected, their potentials become the same.
Since,
\therefore \quad Q_A>Q_B
Option (b) is correct.
Potential is also equal to,
\therefore\frac{\sigma}{E_0} \text{ or }\sigma\quad \sigma_A \lt \sigma_B\quad \sigma_A \lt \sigma_B\therefore \quad E_A \lt E_B\therefore\thereforeE=\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} \frac{Q}{R^2}=\frac{\sigma}{\varepsilon_0}\sigma=\frac{Q}{4 \pi R^2}
(V=\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} \frac{Q}{R}=\frac{\sigma R}{\varepsilon_0}$
