Three concentric spherical shells have radii `a, b` and `c(a lt b lt c)` and have surface charge densities `sigma, -sigam` and `sigma` respectively. If `V_(A), V_(B)` and `V_(C)` denote the potentials of the three shells, then for `c = q + b`, we have

A

`V_(C ) = V_(A) != V_(B)`

B

`V_(C ) = V_(B) != V_(A)`

C

`V_(C ) != V_(A) != V_(B)`

D

`V_(C) = V_(B) = V_(A)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
