A point charge Q is placed at the centre of a spherical conducting shell. A total charge of -q is placed on the shell. The magnitude of the electric field at point `P_1` at a distance `R_1` from the centre is X. The magnitude of the electric field due to induced charges at point `P_2` a distance `R_2` from the centre is Y. The values of X and Y are respectively.

A

` 0,0 `

B

` ( kQ ) /( R _ 1 ^ 2 ) , 0 `

C

` ( k ( Q - q ))/ ( R _ 1 ^ 2 ) , 0 `

D

` ( k Q ) /( R _ 1 ^ 2 ) , ( k Q ) /( R _ 2 ^ 2 ) `

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

The charge on inner surface of shell is -Q and on outer surface of shell is Q + q.
` E _ ( P _ 1 ) = (kQ ) /( R_ 1 ^ 2 ) and E _ (P _ 2 ) = ( kQ ) /( R _ 2 ^ 2 ) `
