If a charged spherical conductor of the radius10 cmhas potentialVat a point distant5 cmfrom its centre, then the potential at a point distant15 cmfrom the centre will be

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

For charged spherical conductor, potential inside the sphere is same as that on its surface.

∴  Potential inside the surface,Vin=Vsurface

     1 4π ε 0 q 10 =V

and potential outside the surface, 1 4π ε 0 q 15

∴  The ratioV15V=q15×10q=23

⇒ V 15 = 2 3 V

⇒    Vout=23V
