There are four concentric spherical shells A, B, C and D of radii R, 2R, 3R and 4R respectively. Net charge on all the spherical shells are same and equal to Q. If V_(A), V_(B), V_C ) and V_(D) represent electric potentials of A, B, C and D respectively, the magnitude of V_(D)=V. |

Answer» `{:(P,Q,R,S),(1,3,2,4):}` In this given situation, the net charge on each spherical shell is Q, but due to induction phenomenon different charges will appear on both the inner and outer SURFACES of sphere but net charge is not going to change. We need not pay attention to induction of charge becausepotential depends only on the net charge. Total electric potential of sphere D can be written as follows: `V_(D)=(1)/(4pi epsilon_(0))[(Q)/(4R)+(Q)/(4R)+(Q)/(4R)+(Q)/(4R)]=(1)/(4pi epsilon_(0)) (Q)/(R )=V "" ...(i)` We can see that in the above case of sphere D, it is outside all the other spheres, so distance 4R is used due to all these spheres. But we should note that in case of other spheres it is not so. `V_(A)=(1)/(4pi epsilon_(0))[(Q)/(R )+(Q)/(2R)+(Q)/(3R)+(Q)/(4R)]` `=(25)/(12)(1)/(4pi epsilon_(0)) (Q)/(R )=(25)/(12)V "" ...(ii)` `V_(B)=(1)/(4pi epsilon_(0))[(Q)/(2R)+(Q)/(2R)+(Q)/(3R)+(Q)/(4R)]` `=(19)/(12)(1)/(4pi epsilon_(0)) (Q)/(R )=(19)/(12)V "" ...(iii)` `V_(C )=(1)/(4pi epsilon_(0))[(Q)/(3R)+(Q)/(3R)+(Q)/(3R)+(Q)/(4R)]` `=(5)/(4) (1)/(4pi epsilon_(0)) (Q)/(R )=(5)/(4)V "" ...(iv)` `V_(A)-V_(B)=(25)/(12)V-(19)/(12)V=(V)/(2)=(6V)/(12)` We can see that option (c ) is correct. |
