Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance - Result Question 12
13. A solid spherical conductor is given a charge. The electrostatic potential of the conductor is
(a) constant throughout the conductor
(b) largest at the centre
[2002]
(c) largest on the surface
(d) largest somewhere between the centre and the surface
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 13. (a)
Solution:
- (a) Electric potential is constant
(equal to $\frac{k q}{R}$,where $k=\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0}$ ) within or on the surface of conductor.
