The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both statements regarding the behavior of two concentric conducting spheres connected by a conducting wire. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Analyze Statement 1** - Statement 1 claims that if two concentric conducting spheres are connected by a conducting wire, no charge can exist on the inner sphere. - According to the properties of conductors, the electric field inside a conductor in electrostatic equilibrium is zero. This implies that any excess charge resides on the surface of the conductor. - Since the inner sphere is connected to the outer sphere via a conducting wire, any charge that might be present on the inner sphere would redistribute to the outer sphere. Therefore, the inner sphere cannot hold any charge. - **Conclusion**: Statement 1 is true. **Step 2: Analyze Statement 2** - Statement 2 states that when charge exists on the outer sphere, the potential of the inner shell and the outer shell will be the same. - The potential inside a conductor is constant and equal to the potential on its surface. Since the inner sphere has no charge, its potential is constant and equal to zero (assuming it is uncharged). - The outer sphere, when charged, will have a potential that depends on its charge and radius. The potential at a point outside a charged sphere is given by \( V = \frac{kQ}{r} \), where \( Q \) is the charge on the outer sphere and \( r \) is the distance from the center. - Since the outer sphere has charge, its potential will not be zero and will differ from the potential of the inner sphere. - **Conclusion**: Statement 2 is false. ### Final Conclusion: - Statement 1 is true, and Statement 2 is false.
