JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 3. current electricity

Space between two concentric conducting spheres of radii \(a\) and \(b (b > a)\) is filled with \(a\) medium of resistivity \(\rho \). The resistance between the two spheres will be

  1. A \(\frac{\rho }{{2\pi }}\left( {\frac{1}{a}\,+\,\frac{1}{b}} \right)\)
  2. B \(\frac{\rho }{{2\pi }}\left( {\frac{1}{a}\,-\,\frac{1}{b}} \right)\)
  3. C \(\frac{\rho }{{4\pi }}\left( {\frac{1}{a}\,+\,\frac{1}{b}} \right)\)
  4. D \(\frac{\rho }{{4\pi }}\left( {\frac{1}{a}\,-\,\frac{1}{b}} \right)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{\rho }{{4\pi }}\left( {\frac{1}{a}\,-\,\frac{1}{b}} \right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(R = \int\limits_a^b {\frac{{\rho {\rm{d}}x}}{{4\pi {x^2}}}} \) \(=\frac{\rho}{4 \pi}\left(\frac{1}{a}-\frac{1}{b}\right) \)
