Consider two concentric conducting sphere of radii \(\mathrm{R}\) and \(2 \mathrm{R}\) respectively. The inner sphere is given a charge \(+\mathrm{Q}\). The other sphere is grounded. The potential at \(r=\frac{3 R}{2}\) is

  1. A \(\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} \frac{Q}{6 R}\)
  2. B 0
  3. C \(\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} \frac{2 Q}{3 R}\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} \frac{Q}{R}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} \frac{Q}{6 R}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(q \rightarrow\) Charge appearing on shell of radius \(2 R\) after earthing Calculating \(\mathrm{q} \quad \mathrm{V}_{\text {outer shell }}=\frac{\mathrm{KQ}}{2 \mathrm{R}}+\frac{\mathrm{Kq}}{2 \mathrm{R}}=0 \quad \mathrm{q}=-\mathrm{Q}\) Calculating potential at…
