Physics · Electrostatic Potential
हिन्दीGiven below are two statements: Statement I: The potential at the center of a hollow conducting sphere having surface charge density \( \sigma \) and radius \( R \) is zero. Statement II: The electric field at the center of a hollow conducting sphere of radius \( R \) carrying surface charge density \( \sigma \) is zero. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Correct answer · Option 4
Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.
Explanation
Inside a spherical shell, V is constant and equal to sigma R / eps0 (non-zero). The electric field E inside is zero everywhere.
