A hollow metal sphere of radius 5 cm is charged such that the potential on its surface is 10 volts.The potential at the centre of the sphere is

Question

ujjwal · Answer

The potential on the surface is equal to the potential at any point inside it.. So, it should be 10 volts..

anonymous · Answer

the potiential of the centre of the sphere will be zero because the charged surface aquire charge but not the inner service of charge so there will be zero potential..:)

surface*

ujjwal · Answer

If the sphere is a conductor the potential is the same everywhere throughout the conductor, and is equal to the value of the potential at the surface: V = kQ/R @sugargurl you might want to take a look at this one.. http://webphysics.davidson.edu/physlet_resources/bu_semester2/c06_spheres.html
