NEETPhysicsElectrostatics
Which of the following correctly represents the variation of electric potential ( V ) of a charged spherical conductor of radius ( R ) with radial distance ( r ) from the centre?
Correct answer
2
Step-by-step solution
As electric field inside the charged conducting sphere is zero, therefore potential will be constant for the inside part. For outside part, electric potential decreases as V = k q r and the conducting sphere behaves like a point charge concentrated at the centre.
