COMEDK · Physics · 17. Electrostatics

The potential to which a conductor is raised, depends on

  1. A the amount of charge
  2. B geometry and size of the conductor
  3. C Both (a) and (b)
  4. D None of the above
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Both (a) and (b)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

When we give charge to a conductor, then its potential increases. Potential, \(V=\frac{\text { Charge }(Q)}{\text { Capacitance }(C)}\) \(\Rightarrow \quad V=\frac{Q}{\varepsilon_{0} \frac{A}{d}} \quad\left[\because C=\frac{\varepsilon_{0} A}{d}\right]\)…
