If the electric potential of the inner shell is and that of the outer shell is , then the potential at the centre will be, (the shells are uniformly charged.)




Important Questions on Electrostatics

At distance of and outwards from the surface of a uniformly charged solid sphere, the potentials are and , respectively. Select the incorrect option.

The figure shows a solid hemisphere with a charge of distributed uniformly throughout its volume. The hemisphere lies on a plane and point is located on the plane along a radial line from the centre of curvature at a distance of The electric potential at a point due to the hemisphere is,

A uniform electric field of exists in space as shown in the graph below. Two points and are also shown with their co-ordinates. The potential difference is


An electric dipole is placed in a uniform electric field of magnitude . The graph shows the magnitude of the torque on the dipole versus the angle between the field and the dipole moment . The magnitude of dipole moment is equal to
