Inside a charged hollow spherical conductor. the potential :-

Consider a hollow spherical conductor that has a potential of 300 volts at its outside surface . The potential inside the hollow must be (a) Zero at the center and rising to something less than 300 V at the edge of the hollow (b) Zero at the outer part and rising to 300 volts at the centre. (c ) It depends on the ratio of outer and inner radii (d) Zero everywhere (e ) 300 V everywhere (f ) 150V everywhere

A spherical conductor A having charge Q lies inside a hollow spherical conductor B . (Choose incorrect option)

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)

Define surface density of charge and potential of a charged and potential of a charged spherical conductor. Establish a relation between them.

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.

The adjacent diagram shows a charge +Q held on an insulating support S and enclosed by a hollow spherical conductor, O represent the center of the spherical conductors and P is a point such that OP=x and SP=r .The electric field at point P will be
