Q.
A hollow conducting sphere is placed in an electric field produced by a point charge placed at P as shown in figure. $V_{A},\ V_{B},\ V_{c}\ $be the potentials at points A, B and C respectively. Then
A) $V_{C} > V_{B}$
B) $V_{B} > V_{C}$
C) $V_{A} > V_{B}$
D) $V_{A} = V_{C}$
Explanation
(d) At each point on the surface of a conducting sphere the potential is equal.
So, $V_{A} = V_{B} = V_{C}$
