A charge Q is distributed over two concentric conducting thin spherical shells of radii r and R (R > r). If the surface charge densities on the two shells are equal, the electric potential at the common centre is:
Option 1 -
1 / 4πε₀) * [(R+r) / (R²+r²)] * Q
Option 2 -
(1 / 4πε₀) * [(R+2r) / 2(R²+r²)] * Q
Option 3 -
(1 / 4πε₀) * [(R+r) / 2(R²+r²)] * Q
Option 4 -
(1 / 4πε₀) * [(2R+r) / (R²+r²)] * Q

Correct Option - 1
Detailed Solution:σ4πr² + σ4πR² = Q ⇒ σ = Q/ (4π (R²+r²)
V_c = kq? /r + kq? /R = k (σ4πr²)/r + k (σ4πR²)/R = kσ4π (r+R)
= K (Q/ (R²+r²) (R+r)
