Homework Statement
There are two concentric shells of radii a and b respectively ,inner shell has charge Q and outer shell is neutral what will be potential energy of outer shell due to inner shell
Homework Equations
##V##=##\frac{KQ}{R}##
PE=Charge .V
The Attempt at a Solution
I know what will be potential of outer shell due to inner shell it will be ##\frac{KQ}{b}## but as outer shell is neutral it does not have any charge and hence potential energy of outer shell should be zero,because we know potential energy is equal to charge multiplied by potential. charge is zero on outer shell hence it's PE would also be zero.Right?
