Consider a thin conducting shell of radius R carrying total charge Q. Two point charges Q and 2Q are placed on points A and B, which are at a distances of R/2 and 2R from the center of the cell respectively as shown in the figure. If the cell is earthed how much charge will flow to the eart?

Answer»

`3Q`
`Q`
`2Q`
`Q/2`

Solution :Since SHELL is earthed its potential is ZERO
`(KQ^(1))/R+(K(2Q))/(2R)=0`
`:. Q^(1)=-Q` Hence `3Q` will flow to the earth
