The concentric, thin metallic spheres of...

The concentric, thin metallic spheres of radii `r_(1)` and `r_(2) (r_(1) gt r_(2))` carry charges `q_(1)` and `q_(2)` respectively. Then the electric potential at distance `r (r_(2) lt r lt r_(1))` will be `(1)/(4pi epsilon_(0))` times

A

`k((Q_(1) + Q_(2))/(r ))`

B

`k((Q_(1))/(r ) + (Q_(2))/(R_(2)))`

C

`k((Q_(2))/(r ) + (Q_(1))/(r ))`

D

`k((Q_(1))/(R_(1)) + (Q_(2))/(r ))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
4


`V_(p) = (1)/(4 pi in_(0)) [ (Q_(2))/(r ) + (Q_(1))/(R_(1))] = k [ (Q_(1))/(R_(1)) + (Q_(2))/(r )]`
