A 10 C charge is given to a conducting spherical shell, and a-3 C point charge is placed inside the shell. For this arrangement, find the correct statement(s).

A

The charge on the inner surface of the shell will be `+3C` and it can be distributed unifromly or non-unformly.

B

the charge on the inner surface of the shell will be `+3C` and its distribution would be uniform.

C

The net charge on outer surface of the shell will be `+7C` and its distribution can be uniform or non-uniform.

D

The net charge on outer surface of the shell will be `+7C` and its distribution would be uniform.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A,D
Due to induction ,charge on various faces are as shown
charge on the inner surface of shell `=+3C`
Net charge on outer surface of shell=`-3C+10C=+7C`
Distribution of charge on inner surface would be uniform if charge is placed at the centre ,otherwise non-uniform ,On outer surface ,charge would be always unifromly distributed as displacement of inside charges does not afftect the distribution of the outer charge.

Both question (33) and (34) refer to the system of charges as shown in the figure. A spherical shell with an inner radius 'a' and an outer radius 'b' is made of conducting material. A point charge +Q is placed at the centre of the spherical shell and a total charge -q is placed on the shell. Assume that the electrostatic potential is zero at an infinite distance from the spherical shell. The electrostatic potential at a distance R(a lt R lt b) from the centre of the shell is

Shown in the figure a spherical shell with an inner radius 'a' and an outer radius 'b' is made of conducting metarial. A charge +Q is placed at the centre of the spherical shell and a total charge -q s placed on the shell. Charge -q is districuted on the surfaces as :

A uniformly charged non-conducting spherical shell is given +q charge and a point charge -q is placed as shown. The electric field lines will be
