A charge Q id distributed over two concentric netal shells of radii r and `R( gt r)` such of the two shells are equal . The charge density of the inner sphere is

A

`Q/(4pir^(2))`

B

`Q/(4piR^(2))`

C

`Q/(4pi(R^(2)+r^(2)))`

D

`Q/(4pi(R^(2)-r^(2)))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`sigma_(1) = sigma_(2)`
` rArr q/(4pir^(2)) = Q/(4piR^(2))`
`rArr " " q = Q(r^(2))/(R^(2))`

` :. " " sigma_(1) = q/(4pir^(2)) = (Qr^(2))/(R^(2)) xx1/(4pir^(2)) = Q/(4piR^(2))`

A small sphere of radius r_(1) and charge q_(1) is enclosed by a spherical shell of radius r and charge q_(2) Show that if q_(1) is positive, charge will necessarily flow from the sphere to the shell (when the two are connected by a wire) no matter what the charge q_(2) on the shell is.

Two charged conducting spheres of radii a and b are connected to each other by a wire. What is the ratio of electric fields at the surfaces of the two spheres? Use the result obtained to explain why charge density on the sharp and pointed ends of a conductor is higher than on its flatter portions.

For two circles of radii r and R, the distance between their centres is d. What type of circles are they, if d lt R +r ?

A spherical conducting shell of inner radius r_(1) and outer radius r_(2) has a charge Q. (a) A charge q is placed at the centre of the shell. What is the surface charge density on the inner and outer surfaces of the shell? (b) Is the electric field inside a cavity (with no charge) zero, even if the shell is not spherical, but has any irregular shape? Explain.
