A point charge Q is placed at the point ...

A point charge Q is placed at the point O as shown in Fig. Is the potential difference `(V_(A) - V_(B))` positive, negative or zero if Q is (i) possible (ii) negative ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) If q is positive charge, `V_A-V_B`= positive.
(ii) If q is negative charge, `V_A-V_B`= Negative.

    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.
