The correct Answer is:
To find the electric potential at the center of a non-conducting sphere of radius \( R \) with charge \( Q \), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Problem**: We need to find the electric potential \( V \) at the center of a non-conducting sphere with radius \( R \) and total charge \( Q \). 2. **Use the Formula for Electric Potential Inside a Sphere**: The electric potential \( V \) at a distance \( r \) from the center of a uniformly charged non-conducting sphere is given by: \[ V = \frac{KQ}{2R} \left(3 - \frac{r^2}{R^2}\right) \] where \( K = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \). 3. **Substitute the Value for \( r \)**: Since we are interested in the potential at the center of the sphere, we set \( r = 0 \): \[ V = \frac{KQ}{2R} \left(3 - \frac{0^2}{R^2}\right) \] This simplifies to: \[ V = \frac{KQ}{2R} \cdot 3 \] 4. **Simplify the Expression**: Now we simplify the expression: \[ V = \frac{3KQ}{2R} \] 5. **Final Result**: Thus, the electric potential at the center of the non-conducting sphere is: \[ V = \frac{3KQ}{2R} \] ### Answer: The electric potential at the center of the non-conducting sphere of radius \( R \) is \( \frac{3KQ}{2R} \).
