MCQ
Figure shows three concentric metallic spherical shells. The outermost shell has charge $q_2$, the inner most shell has charge $q_1$, and the middle shell is uncharged. The charge appearing on the inner surface of outermost shell is
  • A
    $q_1+q_2$
  • B
    $\frac{q_2}{2}$
  • $-q_1$
  • D
    $0$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$-q_1$
c
(c)

Suppose a guassian surface passes through conducting shell with radius $\left(r_3\right)$

Flux through it well be zero. So, net charge enclosed must be zero.

$\therefore q_1+q^{\prime}=0$

$q^{\prime}=-q_1$
