Assume three concentric conducting spheres where charge `q_(1)` and `q_(2)` have been placed on inner and outer sphere where as middle sphere has been earthed .Find the charge on the outer surface of middle spherical conductor

A

`-(r_(2))/(r_(3))q_(2)`

B

`-q_(1)`

C

`-q_(2)`

D

`(r_(2))/(r_(3))q_(1)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
1

`(q_(1))/(r_(2))+(q-q_(1))/(r_(2))+(q_(3))/(r_(3))=0:.q=(-r_(2))/(r_(3))q_(2)`
