There are two concentric metal shells of radii `r_(1)` and `r_(2) ( gt r_(1))`. If initially, the outer shell has a charge q and the inner shell is having zero charge and then inner shell is grounded. Find :
(i) Charge on the inner surface of outer shell.
(ii) Final charges on each sphere.
(iii) Charge flown through wire in the ground.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
(i) `(r_(1)//r_(2))q`
(ii) Charge on inner shell`=-(r_(1)//r_(2))q` and charge on the outer shell `=q`
(iii) Charge flown in to the earth `=(r_(1)//r_(2))q`
