    The potential inside a hollow spherical conductor

    A spherical conductor A lies inside a hollow spherical conductor B . Charges Q_(1) and Q_(2) are given to A and B respectively (Choose the incorrect option)

    Asseration: A point charge q is placed at centre of spherical cavity inside a spherical conductor as shown. Another point charge Q is placed outside the conductor as shown. Now as the point charge Q is pushed away from conductor, the potential difference (V_(A) - V_(B)) between two points A and B within the cavity of sphere remains constant. Reason: The electric field due to charges on outer surface of conductor and outside the conductor is zero at all points inside teh conductor.
