Q. Assertion: Two concentric charged shells are given. The potential difference between the shells depends on charge of inner shell.
Reason: Potential due to charge of outer shell remains same at every point inside the sphere.

Q. Consider two concentric spherical metal shells of radii 'a' and b> a. The outer shell has charge Q , but the inner shell has no charge,Now,the inner shell is grounded. This means that the inner shell will come at zero potential and that electric fields lines leave the outer hell and end on the inner shell.

Q. In the figure two conducting concentric charged spherical shells are shown. If the electric potential at the center is 20V and the electric potential of the outer shell is 5V, then the potential of the inner shell is

Three conducting spherical shells have radii a, b, and c such that a < b< c (Fig. 3.113). Initially, the inner shell is uncharged,the middle shell has a positive charge Q, and the outer shell has a negative charge -Q.

a. Find the electric potential of the three shells.

b. If the inner and outer shells are now connected by a wire that is insulated as it passes through the middle shell, what is the electric potential of each of the three shells? Also, what is the final charge on each shell?

Q. In the situation shown in the figure, we have three concentric metallic shells. The inner and outer shells are earthed, but the middle shell is given charge
