Charge on the outer sphere is q and the inner sphere is grounded. The charge on the inner sphere is q', for r2>r1. Then

  1. A qr1=qr2
  2. B q=q
  3. C q=r1r2q
  4. D q=r1r2q
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) q=r1r2q

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since the inner sphere is grounded, potential of the shell must be zero due to the charges on outer sphere and inner sphere. ⇒kq'r1+kqr2=0 ⇒kq'r1=-kqr2 ⇒q'=-r1r2q
