The point charge is placed outside a spherical shell as shown i the figure. Find the electric potential (in kilo volt) on the surface of shell (Take: q=1 mu c and R=50cm )

Assertion : Spherical shell a in the shown figure has a charge -q and shell B has charge +q . When these two are connected by a thin conducting wire, then whole of the electrostatic potential energy stored between the shell is lost. Reason : Whole of the inner charge will transfer to outer shell B.
