The correct option is C σAσB=RBRA
Given that,
Charge on shell, QA=Q
Charge on solid sphere, QB=Q
Radius of the shell =RA
Radius of the solid sphere =RB
and RB<RA
The electric field inside the conductor remains zero, hence the electric field inside the metal shell will be zero.
So option (a) is correct.
Now after connecting them by a thin wire, the charge will get distributed on them such that both attains equal potential.
Let the charge on shell is QA and solid sphere is QB after connecting them by wire.
QA+QB=2Q ...(1)
Now
Potential of the shell = Potential of the solid sphere
⇒kQARA=kQBRB
⇒QAQB=RARB ...(2)
As it is given that RA>RB
⇒QA>QB
So option (b) is correct.
The surface charge density of the shell is
σA=QA4πR2A
Surface charge density of solid sphere is
σB =QB4πR2B
⇒σAσB = QAQB × R2BR2A
By using equation (2)
σAσB = RBRA
So option (c) is correct.
All the options are right. So the correct option is (d).
