2. Electric Potential and Capacitance
medium

Consider the shown system of two concentric thin metal shells. The inner hell has charge $Q$, while the outer shell is neutral. Potential difference between the shells is $V$. If the shell are joined by metal wire, then potential of the inner shell is

A

$2V$

B

$\frac{V}{2}$

C

$V$

D

Zero

Solution

Before

$\mathrm{V}_{\text {outer }}=\frac{\mathrm{kQ}}{2 \mathrm{R}}$

$\mathrm{V}_{\text {inner }}=\frac{\mathrm{k} \mathrm{Q}}{\mathrm{R}}$

$\mathrm{V}_{\text {inner }}-\mathrm{V}_{\text {outer }}=\frac{\mathrm{kQ}}{2 \mathrm{R}}=\mathrm{V}$

After

$\mathrm{V}_{\text {inner }}=\mathrm{V}_{\text {outer }}=\frac{\mathrm{k} Q}{2 \mathrm{R}}=\mathrm{V}$
