< Prev
Next >

Two concentric spherical shells have radii a and b, where b > a. The inner shell has a charge of +Q, and the outer shell has a charge of -Q. What is the electric potential at a distance r from the center, in the region where a < r < b?

A

V = (1/4πε₀)(Q/r)

B

V = (1/4πε₀)(Q/r - Q/b)

C

V = (1/4πε₀)(Q/a - Q/b)

D

V = 0
