Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(5\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(q _{ x }=\sigma 4 \pi a ^2\)
\(q _{ y }=-\sigma 4 \pi b ^2\)
\(q _{ z }=\sigma 4 \pi c ^2\)
Potential \(x =\) potential \(z\)
\(V _{ x }= V _{ z }\)
\(\frac{ q _{ x }}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 a }+\frac{ q _{ y }}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 b }+\frac{ q _{ z }}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 c }=\frac{ q _{ x }}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 c }+\frac{ q _{ y }}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 c }+\frac{ q _{ z }}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 c }\)
\(\frac{\sigma 4 \pi a ^2}{ a }-\frac{\sigma 4 \pi b ^2}{ b }+\frac{\sigma 4 \pi c ^2}{ c }=\frac{4 \pi \sigma\left[ a ^2- b ^2+ c ^2\right]}{ c }\)
\(c ( a - b + c )= a ^2- b ^2+ c ^2\)
\(c ( a - b )= a ^2- b ^2\)
\(c = a + b\)
\(c =5\,cm\)
