Question

A point charge q is placed inside a conducting spherical shell of inner radius 2R and outer radius 3R at a distance of R from the center of the shell. Find the electric potential at the center of the shell.

A
14πε0q2R
B
14πε04q3R
C
14πε05q6R
D
14πε02q3R
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Electric potential due to point charge =kqR

Electric potential due to inner surface of shell =kq2R

and electric potential due to outer surface of shell =kq3R

V=kqRkq2R+kq3R=kqR[112+13]

=k5q6R
