Charge distribution over concentric spherical shells

AI Thread Summary
The problem involves three concentric conducting spherical shells with charges +4Q, -2Q, and -5Q. The charge distribution results in -2Q on the inner side of the outermost shell. Participants in the discussion seek clarification on the solution process and the reasoning behind the charge distribution. The answer has been confirmed, indicating that the calculations align with electrostatic principles. Understanding the charge distribution is essential for solving similar problems in electrostatics.

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
