MCQ

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 ?

✓
$-5Q$
B
$+3Q$
C
$-4Q$
D
$+4Q$

✓

Answer

Correct option: A.

$-5Q$

a
$\frac{\mathrm{Q}+\mathrm{q}}{4 \pi(2 \mathrm{a})^{2}}=\frac{-\mathrm{Q}}{4 \pi \mathrm{a}^{2}}$

$\frac{\mathrm{Q}+\mathrm{q}}{4}=-\mathrm{Q}$

$\mathrm{Q}+\mathrm{q}=-4 \mathrm{Q}$

$q=-5 Q$

A narrow tube is bent in the form of a circle of radius $R,$ as shown in the figure. Two small holes $S$ and $D$ are made in the tube at the positions right angle to each other. A source placed at $S$ generated a wave of intensity $I_0$ which is equally divided into two parts : One part travels along the longer path, while the other travels along the shorter path. Both the part waves meet at the point $D$ where a detector is placed The maximum value of $\lambda$ to produce a minima at $D$ is given by
