Physics Question on electrostatic potential and capacitance
An infinitely long thin wire, having a uniform charge density per unit length of 5nC/m, is passing through a spherical shell of radius 1m, as shown in the figure. A 10nC charge is distributed uniformly over the spherical shell. If the configuration of the charges remains static, the magnitude of the potential difference between points P and R, in Volt, is ______. [Given: In SI units 4πϵ01=9×109,ln 2=0.7. Ignore the area pierced by the wire.]
Answer
The correct answer is :171
