Aspherical shell with an inner radius $'a'$ and an outer radius $'b' $ is made of conducting material. A point charge $+Q$ is placed at the centre of the spherical shell and a total charge $- q $ is placed on the shell.
Charge $- q $ is distributed on the surfaces as
$- Q$ on the inner surface, $- q$ on outer surface
$- Q$ on the inner surface, $- q + Q$ on the outer surface
$+Q$ on the inner surface, $-q - Q$ on the outer surface
The charge $-q$ is spread uniformly between the inner and outer surface.
A solid spherical conducting shell has inner radius a and outer radius $2a$. At the center of the shell is located a point charge $+Q$. What must the excess charge of the shell be in order for the charge density on the inner and outer surfaces of the shell to be exactly equal ?
Given below are two statements.
Statement $I$ : Electric potential is constant within and at the surface of each conductor.
Statement $II$ : Electric field just outside a charged conductor is perpendicular to the surface of the conductor at every point.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options give below.
Can a metal be used as a medium for dielectric
As shown in the figure, a point charge $Q$ is placed at the centre of conducting spherical shell of inner radius a and outer radius $b$. The electric field due to charge $Q$ in three different regions I, II and III is given by: $( I : r < a , II : a < r < b , III : r > b )$
