Complete question is;
A point charge is positioned in the center of a hollow metallic shell of radius R. During four experiments the value of point charge and charge of the shell were respectively:
+5q; 0
-6q; +2q
+2q; -3q
-4q; +12q
Rank the results of experiments according to the charge on the inner surface of the shell, most positive first:
a. 2, 3, 1, 4
b. 1, 2, 3, 4
c. 2, 4, 3, 1
d. 1, 3, 4, 2
Answer:
c. 2, 4, 3, 1
Explanation:
In this question, we can say that;
q_in = q_b
Where;
q_in is the charge on the inner surface of the shell
q_b is the point charge on the shell.
Thus q_in = -q_b was written because, as the shell is conducting, it means that the electric field would have a value of zero and thus the radius inside will be zero.
Thus;
- For +5q; 0:
q_in = -(+5q)
q_in = -5q
- For -6q; +2q :
q_in = - (-6q)
q_in = +6q
- For +2q; -3q :
q_in = -(+2q)
q_in = -2q
- For -4q; +12q:
q_in = -(-4q)
q_in = +4q
Ranking the most positive to the least positive ones, we have;
+6q, +4q, -2q, -5q
This corresponds to options;
2, 4, 3, 1
