There are four concentric shells A,B, C and D of radii `a,2a,3a` and `4a` respectively. Shells B and D are given charges `+q` and `-q` respectively. Shell C is now earthed. The potential difference `V_A-V_C` is `k=(1/(4piepsilon_0))`

A

`(Kq)/(2a)`

B

`(Kq)/(3a)`

C

`(Kq)/(4a)`

D

`(Kq)/(6a)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

`K[(-q)/(4(3a))+(q)/(2a)-(q)/(4a)]=V_(A) V_(A)=(Kq)/(6a)`
