Charges Q and 2Q are held by two concentric spherical conducting shells of radii R and 2R respectively. Both are connected with each other. Change in value of electric potential on the bigger shell is

A

`(1)/(4piepsilon_(0))(3Q)/(2R)`

B

`(1)/(4piepsilon_(0))(3Q)/(R)`

C

`(1)/(4piepsilon_(0))(Q)/(2R)`

D

zero

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

The surface charge density is same for both the sphere.
`therefore` No charge will flow even after they are connected, i.e., the change in value of electric potential is zero.
