Q. The electric potential on the hollow sphere ofradius 1 m is 1000 V. The potential at $\frac{1}{4}$ m from the centre of sphere is

MP PMTMP PMT 2010Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance

Solution:

Inside the conducting charged sphere eiectric field is zero and potential remaines constant at all points and equals to potential at the surface.
Hence, the potential at I /4 m from the centre is 1000 V.
