A charge Q is distributed over two concentric conducting thin spherical shells radii r and R R>r. If the surface charge densities on the two shells are equal, the electric potential at the common centre is : 

  1. 14πϵ0R+r2R2+r2Q
  2. 14πϵ02R+rR2+r2Q
  3. 14πϵ0R+2rQ2R2+r2
  4. 14πϵ0(R+r)R2+r2Q

Solution

Q1=σ4πr2

Q2=σ4πr2

Q=σ4πr2+R2  σ=Q4πr2+R2

VC=KQ1r+KQ2R

=K04πr2r+K04πR2R

=KQ4π(r+R)4πr2+R2

=KQ(r+R)r2+R2
