The electrostatic potential on the surface of a charged conducting sphere is 100V. Twostatements arc made in this regard : S_(1) : At any point inside the sphere, electric intensity is zero. S_(2) : At any point inside the sphere, the ' electrostatic potential is 100V . Which of the following is a correct statement ?

Answer»

`S_1 ` istruebut ` s_2` isfalse
Both `S_(1)` and `S_(2)` are false.
`S_(1)` is true `S_(2)` is also true and `S_(1)` is the cause of `S_(2)`
`S_(1)` is true `S_(2)` is also true but the statements are independent.

SOLUTION :Electric field and electric potential are RELATED,
`E=-(dV)/(dr)`
If electric field intensity E=0 then `(dV)/(dr)=0`
`:. V` = constant
Hence, uniform electric potential 100 V will be at any POINT inside the sphere when E = 0 in charged sphere.
