The electrostatic potential on the surfa...

The electrostatic potential on the surface of a charged conducting sphere is 100 V. Two statement are made in this regard -
`S_(1)` : At any point inside the sphere, electric intensity is zero.
`S_(2)`: At any point inside the sphere, the electrostatic potential is 100V.
Which of the following is a correct statement?

A

`S_(1)` is true but `S_(2)` is false

B

both `S_(1)` and `S_(2)` are false

C

`S_(1)` is true, `S_(2)` is also true and `S_(1)` is the cause of `S_(2)`

D

`S_(1)` is true, `S_(2)` is also true but the statement are independent.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The field E inside a conductor is zero.
`E = (dV)/(dr) or, -Edr = dV = 0`
`:.` V is constant.
