Question

Physics Question on electrostatic potential and capacitance

Electric potential at the centre of a charged hollow metal sphere is

A

zero

B

twice as that on the surface

C

half of that on the surface

D

same as that on the surface

Answer

same as that on the surface

Explanation

Solution

Electric potential of charged spherical shell
V=q4πε0R[0rR]V =\frac{q}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0} R} [0 \leq r \leq R]
\therefore Electric potential at centre == Electric potential on the surface
