Three concentric spherical conducting shells of radii \(a,b,\) and \(c~(a<b<c)\) are placed as shown. Let \(C_{ab}\) be the capacitance when \(a\) and \(b\) spheres are charged with \(+Q,-Q\) and similarly, let \(C_{bc}\) be the capacitance between \(b\) and \(c\) spheres while \(C_{ac}\) be the capacitance between \(a\) and \(c\) sphere. Then:
               
1. \(C_{ab}+C_{bc}=C_{ac}\)

2. \(\dfrac{1}{C_{ab}}+\dfrac{1}{C_{bc}}=\dfrac{1}{C_{ac}}\)

3. \(\sqrt{C_{ab}\cdot C_{bc}}=C_{ac}\)

4. \(C_{ab}-C_{bc}=C_{ac}\)

Two identical capacitors, each of capacitance \(C\), are connected in series and are charged by means of an ideal battery of emf \(E\). They are disconnected and reconnected in parallel and connected to the same battery. During this reconnection, the positive terminals of the capacitors are connected to the positive terminal of the battery and their negative terminals are similarly connected together. Let, the work done by the battery during the first connection be \(W_1\), and during the second be \(W_2\). Then,
1. \(W_1=W_2\)
2. \(2W_1 =W_2\)
3. \(W_1 = 2W_2\)
4. \(4W_1 = W_2\)

Consider a spherical conductor of radius \(r\), centred at the point \(O\). A point charge \(q(q>0)\) is placed outside the sphere, at a distance '\(d\)' from its centre \((O)\) \((d>r)\) and the sphere is earthed.
                                  
Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): The electric flux due to the external charge \(q\) and the induced charges on the sphere through the spherical surface \(S\) shown dotted in the diagram, is \(\left(-\dfrac{q}{\varepsilon_0}\right)\).
Reason (R): Negative charges are induced on the surface of the conducting sphere due to the positive charge \(q\) in the vicinity, and the potential of the conducting sphere is zero. 
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is True but (R) is False.
4. (A) is False but (R) is True.
