PHY 102 Gauss's Law and Electrostatic Fields Objective Question
Take CBT

Question

What is the potential inside a hollow charged conducting sphere?
Options
A Zero
B Constant but not necessarily zero
Correct Answer
C Increases with r
D Decreases with r
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Since E = 0 inside, dV/dr = 0, so V is constant throughout the interior, equal to the potential at the surface.

Hint

No field → no change in potential.
