Question
Small conducting spherical shell with inner radius a and outer radius b is concentric with a larger conducting spherical shell with inner radius c and outer radius d. The inner shell has total charge of -1q and the outer shell has a total charge of +4q. Select True or False for the following statements. The total Charge on the outer Surface Of the small shell is zero. The total charge on the inner surface of the small shell is zero. The total charge on the outer surface of the large shell is + 3q. The radial component of the electric field in the region cExplanation / Answer
1.
False. : the small inner shell is conducting hence all the charge on it accumulates on the outer surface.
True : inside the inner shell , we have E = 0 , hence charge on inner surface = 0
False : Total charge on outer surface of outer shell is 4q
False : the region c<r<d lies inside the outer shell and inside a conductor E = 0
False : the region r > d lies outside the outer shell and hence behaves as point charge placed at the center
