Question 415: Electrostats & Capacitance

Question

For a uniformly charged thin spherical shell, the electric potential (V) radially away from the centre (O) of shell can be graphically represented as -

Accepted Answer

For $r \leq R, V=\frac{k Q}{R}$, constant everywhere inside the spherical shell.
For $r>R, V=\frac{k Q}{r}$, Decreases with $r$
Therefore for a uniformly thin spherical shell, the electric potential radially away from the centre can be represented as
Hence, option (a) is correct.
