12 Physics Electrostatic Potential And Capacitance - Set No : 3 Question No :7

Question No : 7
               A hollow metal sphere of radius 5 cm is charged such that potential at its surface is 10V. The potential at the centre of the sphere is     

                a)          Zero          b)          10 V     

                c)          Same as at point 5cm away from the surface          d)          Same as at point 10cm away from the surface     

Answer No : 7
     (b)Electric field inside a spherical charge is everywhere zero, hence, inside a spherical charge the potential at all points is the same and its value is equalto that on the surface.∴ Potential at surface=10V.
