Answer:
Explanation:
Potential due to a charged metallic sphere having charge Q and radius r on its surface will be
v = k Q / r . On the surface and inside the metallic sphere , potential is the same . Outside the sphere , at a distance R from the centre potential is
v = k Q / R
a ) On the surface of the shell , potential due to positive charge is
V₁ =
On the surface of the shell , potential due to negative charge is
V₁ =
Total potential will be zero . they will cancel each other.
b ) On the surface of the sphere potential
=
= 22.5 x 10⁵ V
On the surface of the sphere potential due to outer shell
=
= -9 x 10⁵
Total potential
=( 22.5 - 9 ) x 10⁵
= 13.5 x 10⁵ V
c ) In the space between the two , potential will depend upon the distance of the point from the common centre .
d ) Inside the sphere , potential will be same as that on the surface that is
13.5 x 10⁵ V.
e ) Outside the shell , potential due to both positive and negative charge will cancel each other so it will be zero.
