Question

For an isolated uniformly charged spherical conductor, the electrostatic

• A. Potential is zero everywhere inside conductor
• B. Potential is non - zero constant inside the conductor and equal to its value at the surface of conductor
• C. Field is zero inside the conductor
• D. Both (b) and (c) are correct.

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both (b) and (c) are correct.

Inside a spherical conductor,

$E=0$ and electric potential at the surface is,

$V=\frac{Q}{4\pi {ϵ}_{0}R}$
Where $R$ is radius of the sphere and $Q$ is charge on sphere.
