Q143 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2023 (14 May Shift 1) · Physics

If the electric potential at a point on the surface of a hollow conducting sphere of radius $\mathrm{R}$ is $\mathrm{V}$, then the electric potential at a point which is at distance $\frac{R}{3}$ from the centre of the sphere is

  • Correct answer
    A
    V
  • B
    $\frac{\mathrm{V}}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{\mathrm{V}}{9}$
  • D
    $3 \mathrm{~V}$

Solution

Inside a conducting, body, potential is same everywhere and equal to the potential at its surface.

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