The figure shows three concentric metallic spherical shells. The outermost shell has charge $q_2$,the innermost shell has charge $q_1$,and the middle shell is uncharged. The charge appearing on the inner surface of the outermost shell is

  • A
    $q_1+q_2$
  • B
    $\frac{q_2}{2}$
  • C
    $-q_1$

Three identical uncharged metal spheres are at the vertices of an equilateral triangle. One at a time,a small sphere is connected by a conducting wire with a large metal sphere that is charged. The center of the large sphere is on the straight line perpendicular to the plane of the equilateral triangle and passing through its center (see figure). As a result,the first small sphere acquires charge $q_1$ and the second acquires charge $q_2$ $(q_2 < q_1)$. The charge that the third sphere $q_3$ will acquire is (Assume $l >> R$,$l >> r$,$d >> R$,$d >> r$):

$A$ thin metallic spherical shell contains a charge $Q$ on it. $A$ point charge $+q$ is placed at the centre of the shell and another charge $q'$ is placed outside it as shown in the figure. All the three charges are positive. The force on the central charge due to the shell is:

Two spherical conductors $A$ and $B$ of radii $R_1$ and $R_2$ are charged to the same potential and placed at a distance $d$ apart. If these spheres are connected by a conducting wire,what is the ratio of the magnitudes of the electric fields at the surfaces of $A$ and $B$ in the equilibrium state?

Two thin conducting concentric shells of radii $R$ and $2R$ are shown in the figure. The outer shell carries a charge $+Q$ and the inner shell is neutral. When the switch $K$ is closed,which of the following statement$(s)$ is/are correct?
$(a)$ The potential on the inner shell becomes zero.
$(b)$ The charge on the inner shell is $\frac{Q}{2}$.

Two charged conducting spheres $S_1$ and $S_2$ of radii $8 \text{ cm}$ and $18 \text{ cm}$ are connected to each other by a wire. After equilibrium is established,the ratio of electric fields on $S_1$ and $S_2$ spheres are $E_{S_1}$ and $E_{S_2}$ respectively. The value of $\frac{E_{S_1}}{E_{S_2}}$ is . . . . . . .
