Three conducting concentric spherical shells A, B and C having radii a, 2a and 3a respectively are placed as shown. Initially A and C carry some positive charge whereas shell B is uncharged. Now switch S is closed. The potential difference (VA – VB) between shell A and B will-

A

Increase

B

Decrease

C

Remain unchanged

D

Increase or decrease depending upon actual amount of charges on A and C.

Answer

Remain unchanged

Explanation

Solution

After switching on electric field between A & B remain unchanged

\ potential difference between A & B remain unchanged.
