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

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

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

$q=-5 Q$
