A hollow conducting sphere is placed in ...

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 potentials at points `A, B and C` respectively. Then

A

`V_(C)gt V_(B)`

B

`V_(A)gt V_(B)`

C

`V_(B)gt V_(C)`

D

`V_(A)=V_(C)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
In the figure given , the hollow conducting sphere becomes an equipotential surface. Therefore `V_A=V_C`
