Three concentric spherical shells have radii $a, b$ and $c (a < b < c)$ and have surface charge densities $\sigma ,-\;\sigma $ and $\;\sigma \;$ respectively. If  $V_A,V_B$ and $V_C$  denote the potentials of the three shells, then, for $c = a +b,$ we have

  • [AIPMT 2009]
  • A

    $V_C=V_B  \ne V_A$

  • B

    $V_C \ne V_B \ne V_A$

  • C

    $V_C=V_B=V_A$

  • D

    $V_C=V_A \ne VB$
