A small sphere of radius 
and charge 
is enclosed by a spherical shell of radius 
and charge 
If 
is positive, then
A
Charge will flow from the sphere to shell.
B
Charge will flow from the shell to sphere
C
Charge flow will depend on the magnitude 
D
Charge flow will depend on the magnitude of charge 
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
As the charge resides always on the outer surface of the shell, therefore, when the sphere and shell are connected by a wire, charge will flow essentially from the sphere to the shell, whatever be the magnitude and sign of charge
