Electric Potential & Equipotentials

If a conducting sphere of radius RR is charged. Then the electric field at a distance r (r>R)r\,(r > R) from the centre of the sphere would be, (V=(V = potential on the surface of the sphere)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Surface potential: V=Q4πε0R⇒Q=4πε0RVV = \frac{Q}{4\pi\varepsilon_0 R} \Rightarrow Q = 4\pi\varepsilon_0 RV
  2. Outside: E=Q4πε0r2=RVr2E = \frac{Q}{4\pi\varepsilon_0 r^2} = \frac{RV}{r^2}
  3. So the answer is (c) RVr2\frac{RV}{r^2}.
