Q119 / 180 · NEET 2014 · Physics

A conducting sphere of radius R is given a charge Q. The electric potential and the electric field at the center of the sphere respectively are:

  • A
    Zero and Q4πε0 R2
  • Correct answer
    B
    Q4πε0 R and Zero
  • C
    Q4πε0 R and Q4πε0 R2
  • D
    Both are zero

Solution

This is a learning based question where we have to choose the option which is correct for the electric potential and electric field at the centre of the sphere.

For a conducting sphere
Electric field at centre =0
Potential at centre =kQR=Q4πε0 R

So Option (2) will be correct.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
