A solid conducting sphere of radius `a` has a net positive charge `2Q`. A conducting spherical shell of inner radius `b` and outer radius `c` is concentric with the solid sphere and has a net charge `-Q`. The surface charge density on the inner and outer surfaces of the spherical shell will be

A

`-(2Q)/(4pib^2),(Q)/(4pic^2)`

B

`-(Q)/(4pib^2),(Q)/(4pic^2)`

C

`0,(Q)/(4pic^2)`

D

None of the above

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`sigma_("inner") = (-2Q)/(4pib^2)`
`sigma_("outer") = (Q)/(4pic^2)`
