Electric potential at a point distant \(0.5 \mathrm{~m}\) from a spherical conductor of radius \(0.2 \mathrm{~m}\) charged to \(+1 \mathrm{nC}\) is

  1. A \(+9 \mathrm{~V}\)
  2. B \(-9 \mathrm{~V}\)
  3. C \(+18 \mathrm{~V}\)
  4. D \(-18 \mathrm{~V}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(+18 \mathrm{~V}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Charge on spherical conductor, \(q=+\ln C\) \(=10^{-9} \mathrm{C}\) Radius, \(R=0.2 \mathrm{~m}\) Distance of point from spherical conductor, \(r=0.5 \mathrm{~m}\) \(\therefore\) Electric potential, \(V=\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} \cdot \frac{q}{r}\)…
