  • A
    $1:2$
  • B
    $2:1$
  • C

Two thin conducting concentric shells of radii $R$ and $2R$ are shown in the figure. The outer shell carries a charge $+Q$ and the inner shell is neutral. When the switch $K$ is closed,which of the following statement$(s)$ is/are correct?
$(a)$ The potential on the inner shell becomes zero.
$(b)$ The charge on the inner shell is $\frac{Q}{2}$.

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.

An empty thick conducting shell of inner radius $a$ and outer radius $b$ is shown in the figure. If it is observed that the inner face of the shell carries a uniform charge density $-\sigma$ and the outer surface carries a uniform charge density $+\sigma$, choose the correct statement related to the potential of the shell.
