A charge 12 µC is placed at the center of a conducting spherical shell of radius 2.3 m.Find the electric potential at R = 0.7m.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The electric potential inside a conducting shell is the same as on its surface. The potential at the surface due to a point charge is V = kQ/R, where k = 8.99 x 10^9 Nm²/C², Q = 12 x 10^-6 C, and R = 2.3 m. Calculating gives V = 1.54 x 10^5 V.
