Question

Three concentric metal shells A, B and C of respective radii a, b and c (a < b < c) have surface charge densities +σ, -σ and +σrespectively. The potential of shell B is :-

Options

A.

σε0a2-b2b+c

B.

σε0b2-c2b+a

C.

σε0b2-c2c+a

D.

σε0a2-b2a+c

Solution


Voutside = KQr
where r is distance of point from the centre of
shell Vinside = KQR
where 'R' is radius of the shell
VB=KqArb+KqBrb+Kqcrc
VB=14π∈0σ4πa2b-σ4πb2b+σ4πc2c
VB=σ∈0a2-b2b+c
