Electric Charges And Fields

Question
CBSEENPH12039858

A conducting sphere of radius R is given a charge Q. The electric potential and the electric field at the centre of the sphere respectively are:

  • zero and fraction numerator straight Q over denominator 4 πε subscript straight o straight R squared end fraction

  • fraction numerator straight Q over denominator 4 πε subscript straight o straight R end fraction space a n d space z e r o
  • fraction numerator straight Q over denominator 4 πε subscript straight o straight R end fraction space a n d space fraction numerator Q over denominator 4 pi epsilon subscript o R squared end fraction
  • Both are zero

Solution

B.

fraction numerator straight Q over denominator 4 πε subscript straight o straight R end fraction space a n d space z e r o
Electric field inside, Einside = 0

Potential, Vinside = Vsurfacefraction numerator 1 over denominator 4 πε subscript straight o end fraction Q over R
