A hollow conducting sphere of inner radius r and outer radius 2R is given charge Q as shown in figure, then the

A

potential at A and B is same.

B

potential at O and B is same.

C

potential at O and C is same.

D

potential at A,B,C and O is same.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, C, D

a.,b.,c.,d.
points `A` and `B` lie within the same metal hence `V_(A)=V_(B)`. The potential inside a hollow sphere is same as potential at the surface, hence `V_(A)=V_(B)=V_(C)=V_(0)`.

Consider an initially neutral hollow conducting spherical shell with inner radius r and outer radius 2r. A point charge +Q is now placed inside the shell at a distance r/2 from the centre. The shell is then grounded by connecting the outer surface to the earth. P is an external point at a distance 2r from the point charge +Q on the line passing through the centre and the point charge +Q as shown in the figure. The magnitude of the force on a test charge +q placed at P will be
