Q. In a hollow spherical shell, potential (V) changes with respect to distance (s) from centre as

Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance

Solution:

In shell, q charge is uniformly distributed over its surface, it behaves as a conductor.
$V =$ potential at surface $=\frac{ q }{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 R }$ and inside $V =\frac{ q }{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 R }$
Because of this it behaves as an equipotential surface.
