Consider an initially neutral hollow conducting spherical shell with inner radius $r$ and outer radius $2 r$. A point charge $+Q$ is now placed inside the shell at a distance $r / 2$ from the centre. The shell is then grounded by connecting the outer surface to the earth. $P$ is an external point at a distance $2 r$ from the point charge $+Q$ on the line passing through the centre and the point charge $+Q$ as shown in the figure. The magnitude of the force on a test charge $+q$ placed at $P$ will be

- 2Shown in the figure is a semicircular metallic strip that has thickness $t$ and resistivity $\rho$. Its inner radius is $R_1$ and outer radius is $R_2$. If a voltage $V_0$ is applied between its two ends, a current $I$ flows in it. In addition, it is observed that a transverse voltage $\Delta V$ develops between its inner and outer surfaces due to purely kinetic effects of moving electrons (ignore any role of the magnetic field due to the current). Then (figure is schematic and not drawn to scale)-View Solution
