where am i going wrong

What I would suggest is that after the switch is closed u should assume charge q1 on inner surface and q2 on outer and total charge is always conserved so Q(total final)= Q(total initial) and one equation we can get by equating their potential U would get the final charges then u can calculate the final energy and initial energy to solve the ques

charges mere theek hai ig energy mein problem hai @integralofe^2v
integralofe^2v
whas the ans?

CorrodedCoffinOP5w ago
B exam mei galti se aagya lol
integralofe^2v
okay i did this using capactiors logic, like firstly there will be induced charges like how i drawed in red right? and as u seemed in ur diagram, so it will form 2 spherical capacitors and ive drawn electric filed lines in blue so u can see where the energy is stored, first spherical capacitor has radius of R and charge is Q and -Q so use energy stored in capaciotor formula Q^2/2C where capacitance is given by 4pi * epsilon* Radius so ur initial energy is this

did u understand my concept ?

charge distribuation is this

so theres one capacitor with charge 2Q and capacitance 4piepsilon (2R)(R)/2R-R regardless i get your idea working out calcs that gives A i dont have official ans key as of now but now it seems to be A only since 2 method se A aaya

i think the problem in this is prolly that you can't consider interaction pe between the shells once they are connected the rest is fine

nah that seems wrong
nori
nori5w ago
so it yields kq^2/4r as the final pe and then ui-uf = h 3kq^2/4r - kq^2/4r which is opt b but im not sure
integralofe^2v
hold on let me have a closer look then
CorrodedCoffin
CorrodedCoffinOP5w ago
minus of that
nori
nori5w ago
no like if we take interaction pe bwtween the shells to be 0 which is like the last term of ur exp right cuz finally theyre connected idk tho
CorrodedCoffin
CorrodedCoffinOP5w ago
whats the logic behind it
nori
nori5w ago
cuz they're connected finally,, idk taking interaction pe then just doesnt feel right. but this is intuition ofc, maybe someone could confirm it's like they've become a system now together so no interaction pe for them.. self energy term will be there but it's always better to get it confirmed @integralofe^2v what do you think? like should we write the interaction pe term once the shells are joined
integralofe^2v
if they are joined they will still induce equal and opposite charges like a capacitor tho right? idont really understand what u mean by interaction like can u show mathematically ?
integralofe^2v
i can only think of 1 reason that is, when writing charge we write the entireity of charge that is on sphere, not just on outer sphere as if u ignore the point charge once, the entire sphere is being used as a capacitor yeah? but im not too sure abt this logic need to ask my teacher

integralofe^2v
nvm this is incorrect ugh wait why the hell am i using formula of capacitor for point charge
nori
nori4w ago
yeah they will induce charges... by interaction i mean the interaction potential energy term that we include for writing the total energy
integralofe^2v
yea ur right when they are connected there will be no field between outer 2 shells so no interaction PE

CorrodedCoffinOP4w ago
agar field nahi hui toh capacitor nhi bol paoge thn... its probably not B btw
integralofe^2v
yea im getting A but very weird method like id find any flaw with it but idk
No description
integralofe^2v
btw the earlier capacitnace formula i used was wrong, thats only when other shell is at infinity, this formula shud be right

CorrodedCoffinOP4w ago
doesnt this work ...?
integralofe^2v
how did u get this term?
No description

CorrodedCoffinOP4w ago
there are two capacitors right one plate of which is at infinity usi ki capacitance hi
integralofe^2v
oh okay will give same ans
nori
nori4w ago
it's not B? when you don't consider interaction pe, the ans matches right??
CorrodedCoffin
CorrodedCoffinOP4w ago
this gives A(considered interaction PE) i have discussion of this on thursday so tab hi update kar paunga with the right answer
nori
nori4w ago
oh okay yeah exactly... i dont think considering interaction pe is right
CorrodedCoffin
CorrodedCoffinOP4w ago
@integralofe^2v @nori yep its A
nori
nori4w ago
oh okay... then you do consider interaction pe in such cases? im still kinda confused, arent they at the same potential? could you pls explain
CorrodedCoffin
CorrodedCoffinOP4w ago
yes we do consider tbh i dont understand why we wont consider
nori
nori4w ago
hmm okay...
