JEE MAIN - Physics (2019 - 8th April Morning Slot - No. 11)
Explanation
Initially when uncharged shell encloses charge Q, charge distribution due to induction will be as shown,
The potential on surface of inner shell is
$${V_A} = {{kQ} \over a} + {{k( - Q)} \over b} + {{kQ} \over b}$$ ..... (i)
where, k = proportionality constant.
Potential on surface of outer shell is
$${V_B} = {{kQ} \over b} + {{k( - Q)} \over b} + {{kQ} \over b}$$ ..... (ii)
Then, potential difference is
$$\Delta {V_{AB}} = {V_A} - {V_B} = kQ\left( {{1 \over a} - {1 \over b}} \right)$$
Given, $$\Delta {V_{AB}} = V$$
So, $$kQ\left( {{1 \over a} - {1 \over b}} \right) = V$$ ....... (iii)
Finally after giving charge $$-$$ 4Q to outer shell, potential difference will be
$$\Delta {V_{AB}} = {V_A} - {V_B}$$
$$ = \left( {{{kQ} \over a} + {{k( - 4Q)} \over b}} \right) - \left( {{{kQ} \over b} + {{k( - 4Q)} \over b}} \right)$$
$$ = kQ\left( {{1 \over a} - {1 \over b}} \right) = V$$ [from Eq. (iii)]
Hence, we obtain that potential difference does not depend on the charge of outer sphere, hence potential difference remains same.
