Question

A hollow conducting sphere is placed in an electric field produced by a point charge placed at P as shown in figure. Let $V_{A,}V_{B,}V_{C}$ be the potential at point A, B and C respectively, then

• A. $V_{C} > V_{B}$
• B. $V_{A} > V_{B}$
• C. $V_{B} > V_{C}$
• D. $V_{A} = V_{C}$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

$V_{A} = V_{C}$

Answer 2

: In the figure given, the hollow conduction sphere becomes an equipotential surface. Therefore $V_{A} = V_{C}$
