Q. A charge $q$ is distributed uniformly on the surface of a sphere of radius $R$. It is covered by a concentric hollow conducting sphere of radius $2 \,R$. Charge on the outer surface of the hollow sphere will be, if it is earthed

Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance

Solution:

If outer surface is earthed its charge becomes $0$.
