Two thin conducting shells of radii R an...

Two thin conducting shells of radii R and 3R are shown in the figure. The outer shell carries a chage Q and the inner shell is neutral. The inner shell is earthed with the help of a switch S

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`(-Q)/3`
After earthing `V_("inner shell")=0, (Kq)/R+(KQ)/(3R)=0`
`q=(-Q)/3` (charge on inner shell)
