Three concentric spherical shells have radii $a, b$ and $c (a < b < c)$ and have surface charge densities $\sigma ,-\;\sigma $ and $\;\sigma \;$ respectively. If  $V_A,V_B$ and $V_C$  denote the potentials of the three shells, then, for $c = a +b,$ we have
  • A$V_C=V_B  \ne V_A$
  • B$V_C \ne V_B \ne V_A$
  • C$V_C=V_B=V_A$
  • D$V_C=V_A \ne VB$
