JEE Main & Advanced Physics Electrostatics & Capacitance Question Bank Self Evaluation Test - Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance

  • question_answer
    A point charge of magnitude \[+1\mu C\] is fixed at (0, 0). An isolated uncharged spherical conductor, is fixed with its center at (4, 0, 0). The potential and the induced electric field at the center of the sphere is:

    A) \[1.8\times {{10}^{5}}V\text{ and }-5.625\times {{10}^{6}}V/m\]

    B) 0 V and 0 V/m

    C) \[2.25\times {{10}^{5}}V\text{ and }-5.625\times {{10}^{6}}V/m\]

    D) \[2.25\times {{10}^{5}}V\text{ and 0 V/m}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[q=1\mu C=1\times {{10}^{-6}},r=4cm=4\times {{10}^{-2}}m\] Potential \[V=\frac{kg}{r}=\frac{9\times {{10}^{8}}\times {{10}^{-6}}}{4\times {{10}^{-2}}}\] \[=2.25\times {{10}^{5}}V.\] Induced electric field \[E=-\frac{kq}{{{r}^{2}}}\] \[=\frac{9\times {{10}^{9}}\times 1\times {{10}^{-6}}}{16\times {{10}^{-4}}}=5.625\times {{10}^{6}}V/m\]
