The correct Answer is:
To find the potential at the center of a sphere with given charges on its surface, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Identify the Charges**: We have six charges: - \( q_1 = +1 \, \mu C \) - \( q_2 = +3 \, \mu C \) - \( q_3 = +4 \, \mu C \) - \( q_4 = -2 \, \mu C \) - \( q_5 = -3 \, \mu C \) - \( q_6 = -3 \, \mu C \) 2. **Calculate the Total Charge**: The total charge \( Q_{net} \) on the sphere is the sum of all the individual charges: \[ Q_{net} = q_1 + q_2 + q_3 + q_4 + q_5 + q_6 \] Substituting the values: \[ Q_{net} = (+1 \, \mu C) + (+3 \, \mu C) + (+4 \, \mu C) + (-2 \, \mu C) + (-3 \, \mu C) + (-3 \, \mu C) \] \[ Q_{net} = 1 + 3 + 4 - 2 - 3 - 3 = 0 \, \mu C \] 3. **Use the Formula for Potential**: The potential \( V \) at the center of the sphere due to a charge \( Q \) at a distance \( r \) is given by: \[ V = \frac{k \cdot Q_{net}}{r} \] where \( k \) is Coulomb's constant (\( k \approx 9 \times 10^9 \, N \cdot m^2/C^2 \)) and \( r \) is the radius of the sphere. Here, \( r = 10 \, cm = 0.1 \, m \). 4. **Substitute the Values**: Since \( Q_{net} = 0 \): \[ V = \frac{k \cdot 0}{0.1} = 0 \] 5. **Conclusion**: The potential at the center of the sphere is \( 0 \, V \). ### Final Answer The potential at the center of the sphere is **0 V**.
