  • question_answer
    A hollow conducting sphere is placed in an electric field produced by a point charge placed at P as shown in figure. Let \[{{V}_{A}},{{V}_{B}},{{V}_{C}}\] be the potentials at points \[A,B\] and C respectively. Then      [Orissa JEE 2003]

    A)                                             \[{{V}_{C}}>{{V}_{B}}\]

    B)                                      \[{{V}_{B}}>{{V}_{C}}\]

    C)            \[{{V}_{A}}>{{V}_{B}}\]

    D)                                      \[{{V}_{A}}={{V}_{C}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                 Conducting surface behaves as equipotential surface.
