The potential of a uniformly charged spherical shell at a point \( r/2 \) from its centre is \( 5 \text{ V} \). The potential at its surface is :(Given radius of shell \( = r \))

  1. A zero
  2. B \( 2.5 \text{ V} \)
  3. C \( 5 \text{ V} \)
  4. D \( 10 \text{ V} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \( 5 \text{ V} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The potential inside a uniformly charged spherical shell is constant and equal to the potential at its surface. Since \( r/2 \) is inside the shell, \( V_{\text{at } r/2} = V_{\text{surface}} \). \( V_{\text{surface}} = 5 \text{ V} \).
