Consider the shown system of two concentric thin metal shells. The inner shell has charge $Q$,while the outer shell is neutral. The potential difference between the shells is $V$. If the shells are joined by a metal wire,then the potential of the inner shell is

  • A
    $2V$
  • B
    $\frac{V}{2}$
  • C
    $V$
  • D
    Zero

$A$ hollow conducting sphere is placed in an electric field produced by a point charge placed at $P$ as shown in the figure. Let $V_A, V_B$,and $V_C$ be the potentials at points $A, B$,and $C$ respectively,where $A$ and $B$ are on the surface of the sphere and $C$ is inside the sphere. Then:

Shown in the figure are two point charges $+Q$ and $-Q$ inside the cavity of a spherical shell. The charges are kept near the surface of the cavity on opposite sides of the centre of the shell. If $\sigma_1$ is the surface charge density on the inner surface and $Q_1$ is the net charge on it,and $\sigma_2$ is the surface charge density on the outer surface and $Q_2$ is the net charge on it,then:

Assertion: $A$ positive charge particle is placed in front of a spherical uncharged conductor. The number of lines of force terminating on the sphere will be more than those emerging from it.
Reason: The surface charge density at a point on the sphere nearest to the point charge will be negative and maximum in magnitude compared to other points on the sphere.

Charge on the outer sphere is $q$ and the inner sphere is grounded. The charge on the inner sphere is $q'$,for $(r_2 > r_1)$. Then

Two insulated charged spheres of radii $20\,cm$ and $25\,cm$ respectively and having an equal charge $Q$ are connected by a copper wire,then they are separated.
