2. Electric Potential and Capacitance
medium
Two conducting hollow sphere of radius $R$ and $3R$ are found to have $Q$ charge on outer surface when both are connected with a long wire and $q'$ charge is kept at the centre of bigger sphere. Then which one is true

A
$q' = 2Q$
B
$q' = 3Q$
C
$q' = 4Q$
D
$q' = 6Q$
Solution
Equipotential surface
$\frac{\mathrm{k} \mathrm{Q}}{\mathrm{R}}=\frac{\mathrm{k} \mathrm{Q}}{3 \mathrm{R}}+\frac{\mathrm{k} \mathrm{q}^{\prime}}{3 \mathrm{R}}$
$\frac{2 \mathrm{k} \mathrm{Q}}{3 \mathrm{R}}=\frac{\mathrm{kq}^{\prime}}{3 \mathrm{R}}$
$q^{\prime}=2 Q$
