For spherical symmetrical charge distribution, variation of electric potential with distance from centre is given in diagram. Given that:
\(V=\frac{q}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 R_0} \text { for } r \leq R_0\)
and \(V=\frac{q}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 r}\) for \(r \geq R_0\)
Then which option(s) are correct

  1. A Total charge within \(2 R_0\) is \(q\)
  2. B Total electrostatic energy for \(r \leq R_0\) is zero
  3. C At \(r=R_0\) electric field is discontinuous
  4. D None of these
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) None of these

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation
