Three concentric metallic spherical shells of radii 
, 3R are given charges 
, respectively. It is found that the surface charge densities on the outer surfaces of the shells are equal. Then, the ratio of the charges given to the shells, 
, is
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
The surface charge densities on the outer surface of the shells will be equal then charges on the shells are proportional to the squares of their radii. Hence the charge distribution will be as shown.
