Question

Consider two long, isolated, concentric, conducting cylinders. The inner conductor has a net charge of 9 q . The outer conductor has a net charge of 9 q . Since the two cylinders are conductors, the charge flows to the surfaces of the cylinders. The charge on the surface of the sphere is Q1, on the inner surface of the shell is Q2 and on the outer surface Q3.

1. Q1 = 9 q Q2 = 9 q Q3 = 15 q

2. Q1 = 8 q Q2 = 8 q Q3 = 11 q

3. Q1 = 8 q Q2 = 8 q Q3 = 17 q

4. Q1 = 9 q Q2 = 9 q Q3 = 0 q

5. Q1 = 4 q Q2 = 4 q Q3 = 1 q

6. Q1 = 3 q Q2 = 3 q Q3 = 5 q

7. Q1 = 9 q Q2 = 9 q Q3 = 6 q

8. Q1 = 6 q Q2 = 6 q Q3 = 15 q

9. Q1 = 5 q Q2 = 5 q Q3 = 10 q

10. Q1 = 5 q Q2 = 5 q Q3 = 4 q

Explanation / Answer

Choice 4 is the best.
