Physics Electrostatics Potential & Capacitance JEE Main 2019 MCQ (Single Correct)

A solid conducting sphere, having a charge Q, is surrounded by an uncharged conducting hollow spherical shell. Let the potential difference between the surface of the solid sphere and that of the outer surface of the hollow shell be V. If the shell is now given charge of , the new potential difference between the same two surfaces is:

A
B
2V
C
4V
D
V

The correct answer is:
D

JEE Main 2019

When charge Q is on inner solid conducting sphere

Electric field between spherical surface

Now when a charge is given to hollow shell

Electric field between surface remain unchanged.

As, field inside the hollow spherical shell = 0

Potential difference between them remain unchanged

i.e.,
