Question

A hollow conducting sphere is placed in an electric field produced by a point charg placed at $P$ as shown in figure. Let $V_A, V_B, V_C$ be the potentials at points $A, B$ and $C$ respectively. Then

• A. $V_C > V_B$
• B. $V_B > V_C$
• C. $V_A > V_B$
• D. $V_A = V_C$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

$V_A = V_C$

Answer 2

Conducting surface behaves as equipotential surface.
