Two connectric spheres of radii R and r ...

Two connectric spheres of radii `R` and `r` have similar charges with equal surface charge densities `(sigam)`. The electric potential at their common centre is

A

`sigma//epsilon_(0)`

B

`(sigma)/(epsilon_(0)) (R -r)`

C

`(sigma)/(epsilon_(0)) (R -r)`

D

`(sigma)/(4pi epsilon_(0)) (R + r)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`V = (1)/(4pi epsilon_(0))(Q)/(R ) + (1)/(4pi epsilonL0)(Q)/(r )`
or `V = (1)/(epsilon_(0)) [(Q)/(4piR^(2))R + (Q)/(4pi epsilon^(2))r]`
`= (sigma)/(epsilon_(0)) (R + r)`
