A metal sphere with radius ra = 1.40 cm is supported on an insulating stand at the center of a hollow, metal, spherical shell with radius rb = 9.50 cm . Charge +q is put on the inner sphere and charge −q on the outer spherical shell. The magnitude of q is chosen to make the potential difference between the spheres 500 V , with the inner sphere at higher potential.

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

radius of internal sphere is [tex]r_a=1.4\ cm[/tex]

radius of Outer sphere is [tex]r_b=9.50\ cm[/tex]

+q is put on the inner sphere and -q charge is put on the outer spherical shell

Potential difference [tex]\Delta V=500\ V[/tex]

Potential difference of two concentric shell is given by

[tex]\Delta V=\frac{kq}{r_a}-\frac{kq_b}{r_b}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow \Delta V=kq\left ( \frac{1}{r_a}-\frac{1}{r_b}\right )[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow q=\frac{V}{k\left ( \frac{1}{r_a}-\frac{1}{r_b}\right )}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow q=\frac{500}{9\times 10^9\cdot \left ( \frac{1}{1.4\times 10^{-2}}-\frac{1}{9.5\times 10^{-2}}\right )}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow q=\frac{500}{9\times 10^9\times 100\cdot \left ( 0.6089\right )}[/tex]

[tex]q=9.12\times 10^{-10}\ C[/tex]
