Q. What is the ratio of the electrostatic potential at the corner and the centre point of a charged conducting cube? (The potential is considered $0$ at infinity)

Solution:

We know from the application of Gauss's law that a conductor is always equipotential. Therefore potential at centre and potential at one corner is the same.
$\therefore $ The ratio of potential is $1:1$ .
