Two concentric spheres of radii R and 2R...

Two concentric spheres of radii `R` and `2R` are charged. The inner sphere has a charge if `1muC` and the outer sphere has a charge of `2muC` of the same sigh. The potential is `9000 V` at a distance `3R` from the common centre. The value of R is

A

`1m`

B

`2m`

C

`3m`

D

`4m`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`V=1/(4piepsilon_0).q_1/(3R)+1/(4piepsilon_0).q_2/(3R)`
`=q_"net"/((4piepsilon_0)(3R))`
`:. R=(1/(4piepsilon))(q_"net")/(3V))`
`=((9xx10^9)(3xx10^-6))/((3)(9000))`
`=1m`
