A solid conducting sphere of radius `a` has a net positive charge `2Q`. A conducting spherical shell of inner radius `b` and outer radius `c` is concentric with the solid sphere and has a net charge `-Q`. The surface charge density on the inner and outer surfaces of the spherical shell will be

A

`-(2Q)/(4pib^(2)),(Q)/(4pic^(2))`

B

`-(Q)/(4pib^(2)),(Q)/(4pic^(2))`

C

`0,(Q)/(4pic^(2))`

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A


At inner surface `sigma=(-2Q)/(4pib^(2))`
and at outer surface `sigma=(2Q)/(4pi c^(2))`
