A thin spherical conducting shell of radius R has a charge q. Another charge Q is placed at the centre of the shell. The electrostatic potential at a point P a distance `R/2` from the centre of the shell is

A

`(2Q)/(4pi in_(0) R)`

B

`(2Q)/(4pi in_(0)R)-(2q)/(4pi in_(0)R)`

C

`(2Q)/(4pi in_(0)R)+q/(4pi in_(0)R)`

D

`((q+Q))/(4pi in_(0))2/R`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`V_(P)=(Kq)/R+(KQ)/(R//2)=(2Q)/(4pi in_(0)R)+q/(4pi in_(0)R)`
