A solid conducting sphere of radius `10 cm` is enclosed by a thin metallic shell of radius `20 cm`. A charge `q = 20 mu C` is given to the inner sphere is connected to the shell by a conducting wire.A. 12 JB. 9 JC. 24 JD. zero |

Answer» Correct Answer - b On connecting, the entire amount of charge will shift to the outer sphere. Heat generated is `U_i - U_f = (q^2)/(8 pi epsilon_0 R_1) - (q^2)/(8 pi epsilon_0 R_2)` =`((20 xx 10^-6) xx 9 xx 10^9)/(2) [(1)/(0.01) - (1)/(0.20)] = 9 J`. |
