    If a charge \[-150\text{ }nC\]is given to a concentric spherical shell and a charge \[+\text{ }50\text{ }nC\]is placed at  its centre, then the charge on inner and outer surface of the shell is

    A) \[50\,nC,100\,nC\]     

    B) \[~-\text{ }50\,nC,-\text{ }100\,nC\]

    C) \[~50\text{ }nC,\text{ }200\text{ }nC\]       

    D) \[~-\text{ }50\,nC,-200\text{ }nC\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     The charge + 50 nC at the centre induces \[-\text{ }50\text{ }nC\]  on inner surface and \[+\text{ }50\text{ }nC\]on outer surface of the spherical sheet. So, charge on the inner surface\[~=-\text{ }50\text{ }nC\] and charge on the outer surface \[=-150\,nC+50\,nC\] \[=-100\,nC\]
