    A hollow charged metal sphere has a radius r. If the potential difference between its surface and a point at a distance 3 r from the centre is V, then the electric intensity at a distance 3 r from the centre is :

    A) \[\frac{v}{6r}\]                                 

    B) \[\frac{v}{4r}\]

    C) \[\frac{V}{3r}\]                                

    D) \[\frac{V}{2r}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    The potential at a point distant r from charge q is \[{{V}_{1}}=\frac{1}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}}.\frac{q}{r}\] At a distance of 3r                 \[{{V}_{2}}=\frac{1}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}}.\frac{q}{3r}\] Potential difference                 \[\Delta V={{V}_{1}}-{{V}_{2}}\] \[\Delta V=\frac{q}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}r}-\frac{q}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}3r}=\frac{2q}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}3r}\]          ?. (i) Electric field intensity \[E=\frac{q}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}}.\frac{1}{{{(3r)}^{2}}}\]                ...(ii) From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get                 \[\frac{E}{V}=\frac{q}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}\times q{{r}^{2}}}\times \frac{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}\times 3r}{2q}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{E}{V}=\frac{1}{6r}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[E=\frac{V}{6r}\]
