Electrostatics Question 328
Question: A hollow metal sphere of radius 5 cm is charged so that the potential on its surface is 10 V. The potential at the centre of the sphere is [IIT 1983; MNR 1990; MP PET/PMT 2000; DPMT 2004]
Options:
A) 0 V
B) 10 V
C) Same as at point 5 cm away from the surface
D) Same as at point 25 cm away from the surface
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
Since potential inside the hollow sphere is same as that on the surface.
