Question

A thin spherical shell with radius R1 = 4.00 cm is concentric with a larger thin spherical shell with radius R2 = 6.00 cm . Both shells are made of insulating material. The smaller shell has charge q1=+6.00nC distributed uniformly over its surface, and the larger shell has charge q2=−9.00nC distributed uniformly over its surface. Take the electric potential to be zero at an infinite distance from both shells.

Answer 1

Answer:

The right response will be "450 volts".

Explanation:

The given values are:

R1 = 4.00 cm

R2 = 6.00 cm

q1 = +6.00 nC

q2 = −9.00 nC

As we know,

The potential difference between the two shell's difference will be:

⇒  $\Delta V=K[(\frac{q1}{R1}+\frac{q2}{R2})-(\frac{q1}{R1} +(\frac{q2}{R2}))]$

           $=K[\frac{q1}{R2}-\frac{q1}{R1} ]$

On substituting the values, we get

           $=(9\times 10^9)[\frac{6\times 10^{-9}}{0.04}-\frac{6\times 10^{-9}}{0.06}]$  

       Δ $=450 \ volts$
