Which of the following correctly represents the variation of electric potential ( V ) of a charged spherical conductor of radius ( R ) with radial distance ( r ) from the centre?

Question

TestHub · Accepted Answer

As electric field inside the charged conducting sphere is zero, therefore potential will be constant for the inside part.

For outside part, electric potential decreases as $V = \frac{k q}{r}$ and the conducting sphere behaves like a point charge concentrated at the centre.
