JEE Main 2023 (06 Apr Shift 1)
Question
For a uniformly charged thin spherical shell, the electric potential radially away from the centre of shell can be graphically represented as
Choose an option
Show full solutionCorrect option: B
Step-by-step explanation
The potential is constant inside the sphere as the electric field is zero inside the sphere. So, the value is given by
for
The potential at the surface is
The potential outside the sphere starts decreasing and is given by the formula
for
