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

IIT JEEIIT JEE 1983Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance

Solution:

Hollow metal sphere $=$ spherical shell
Electric field inside shell $=0$
$\{ B \}$ Potential in constant inside thin shell
potential at surface $=$ potential at centre $=10 V$
