$IAn$ empty thick conducting shell of inner radius $a$ and outer radius $b$ is shown in figure.If it is observed that the inner face of the shell carries a uniform charge density $-\sigma$ and the surface carries a uniform charge density $ '\sigma '$

Choose the correct statement related to the potential of the shell in absence of $q_B$

115-947

  • A

    Potential of the outer surface is more than that of the inner surface because it is positively charged

  • B

    The potential of the outer surface is $\frac{{\sigma b}}{{{\varepsilon _0}}}$

  • C

    Both the surfaces have equal potential 

  • D

    $B$ and $C$ both

If some charge is given to a solid metallic sphere, the field inside remains zero and by Gauss's law all the charge resides on the surface. Now, suppose that Coulomb's force between two charges varies as $1 / r^{3}$. Then, for a charged solid metallic sphere
