Question

A long, hollow conducting cylinder is kept coaxially inside another long, hollow conducting cylinder of larger radius. Both the cylinders are initially electrically neutral.
  1. A potential difference appears between the two cylinders when a charge density is given to the inner cylinder.
  2. A potential difference appears between the two cylinders when a charge density is given to the outer cylinder.
  3. No potential difference appears between the two cylinders when a uniform line charge is kept along the axis of the cylinders.
  4. No potential difference appears between the two cylinders when same charge density is given to both the cylinders.
