Q.

A conducting sphere of radius R is given a charge Q. The electric potential and the electric field at the centre of the sphere respectively are    [2014]
 

1 zero and Q4πε0R2  
2 Q4πε0R and zero  
3 Q4πε0R and Q4πε0R2  
4 both are zero  

Ans.

(2)

For the conducting sphere,

Potential at the centre = Potential on the sphere = 14πε0QR

Electric field at the centre = 0
