Three concentric spherical shells have radii $$a,b$$ and $$c\left( {a < b < c} \right)$$ and have surface charge densities $$\sigma , - \sigma $$ and $$\sigma $$ respectively. If $${V_A},{V_B}$$ and $${V_C}$$ denote the potentials of the three shells, then for $$c = a + b,$$ we have

Two identical thin rings each of radius $$R$$ meters are coaxially placed at a distance $$R$$ meters apart. If $${Q_1}$$ coulomb and $${Q_2}$$ coulomb are respectively the charges uniformly spread on the two rings, the work done in moving a charge $$q$$ from the centre of one ring to that of other is
An equipotential surface has a constant value of potential at all points on its surface.
The surface and interior of a charged conductor is equipotential. Therefore, the potential is same throughout the charged conductor.

Three concentric charged metallic spherical shells $$A,B$$ and $$C$$ have radii $$a,b$$ and $$c;$$ charge densities $$\sigma , - \sigma $$ and $$\sigma $$ and potentials $${V_A},{V_B}$$ and $${V_C}$$ respectively. Then which of the following relations is correct?
A
$${V_A} = \left( {a + b + c} \right)\frac{\sigma }{{{\varepsilon _0}}}$$
B
$${V_B} = \left( {\frac{{{a^2}}}{b} - b + c} \right)\frac{\sigma }{{{\varepsilon _0}}}$$
Potential due to a charged shell at an outside point
$$ = \frac{1}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}}} \times \frac{Q}{r}$$
while that inside the shell $$ = \frac{{\sigma R}}{{{\varepsilon _0}}},$$ where $$R$$ is the radius of the shell.

Three identical particles, each possessing the mass $$m$$ and charge $$+q,$$ are placed at the corners of an equilateral triangle with side $${r_0}.$$ The particles are simultaneously set free and start flying apart symmetrically due to Coulomb’s repulsion forces. The work performed by Coulomb’s forces acting on each particle until the particles fly from one another to a very large distance is (where $$k = \frac{1}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}}}.$$ )
Since the given system is closed, the increase in $$KE$$ is equal to decrease in $$P.E.$$
$$\eqalign{
& \Rightarrow \frac{3}{2}m{v^2} = \frac{{2k{q^2}}}{{{r_0}}} - \frac{{3k{q^2}}}{r} \cr
& \Rightarrow v = \sqrt {\frac{{2k{q^2}\left( {r - {r_0}} \right)}}{{mr{r_0}}}} ,\,\,v\,{\text{will}}\,{\text{be}}\,{\text{max}}\,{\text{when}}\,r \to \infty \cr
& \Rightarrow {v_{\max }} = \sqrt {\frac{{2k{q^2}}}{{m{r_0}}}} \cr} $$
The work performed by the interaction force during the variation of the system’s
configuration is equal to the decrease in the potential energy
$$W = {U_1} - {U_2} = \frac{{3k{q^2}}}{{{r_0}}}$$
∴ Work done per particle $$ = \frac{{k{q^2}}}{{{r_0}}}$$

In a region, the potential is represented by $$V\left( {x,y,z} \right) = 6x - 8xy - 8y + 6yz,$$ where $$V$$ is in volts and $$x,y,z$$ are in metres. The electric force experienced by a charge of $$2C$$ situated at point $$\left( {1,1,1} \right)$$ is
As we know that relation between potential difference and electric field $$E$$ in a particular region is given by, $$E = - \frac{{dV}}{{dr}}$$
As, $$V = 6x - 8xy - 8y + 6yz$$
So, $$E = - \frac{{dV}}{{dr}}$$
$$ = - \left[ {\left( {6 - 8y} \right)\hat i + \left( { - 8x - 8 + 6z} \right)\hat j + 6y\hat k} \right]$$
The value of $$E$$ at coordinate $$\left( {1,1,1} \right)$$
$$\eqalign{
& E = - \left[ { - 2\hat i - 10\hat j + 6\hat k} \right] \cr
& {\text{So,}}\,\,{E_{{\text{net}}}} = \sqrt {{{\left( { - 2} \right)}^2} + {{\left( { - 10} \right)}^2} + {6^2}} = 2\sqrt {35} \,N/C \cr} $$
and force on charge $$q$$ due to $${E_{{\text{net}}}}$$ is given by
$$F = q{E_{{\text{net}}}} = 2 \times 2\sqrt {35} = 4\sqrt {35} \,N$$

An electron having charge $$e$$ and mass $$m$$ starts from the lower plate of two metallic plates separated by a distance $$d.$$ If the potential difference between the plates is $$V,$$ the time taken by the electron to reach the upper plate is given by
Potential energy decreases whenever there is attraction. A negative charge placed at centroid causes attraction.
