- MCQ
There is a uniform electrostatic field in a region. The potential at various points on a small sphere centred at \(P\), in the region, is found to vary between in the limits \(589.0\,V\) to \(589.8\, V\). What is the potential at a point on the sphere whose radius vector makes an angle of \(60^o\) with the direction of the field ?........\(V\)
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(589.4\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Potential gradient is given by,
\(\Delta \mathrm{V}=\mathrm{E} . \mathrm{d}\)
\(0.8=\mathrm{Ed}(\mathrm{max})\)
\(\Delta V=E d \cos \theta=0.8 \times \cos 60=0.4\)
Hence, maximum potential at a point on the sphere
\(=589.4\, \mathrm{V}\)
