Three concentric metal shellsA, BandCof respective radiia, bandc (a < b < c)have surface charge densities +σ, -σ  and +σ respectively. The potential of shell B  is:

Question diagram: Three concentric metal shells A , B and C of respective radi

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:



Net potential at B is due to the superposition of potential due to all shells,

B=BI+BII+BIII

=K4πa2σb+K4πb2-σb+K4πc2σc

Required potential of b

=σa2ε0b-σb2ε0b+σc2ε0c

=σε0a2-b2b+c
