    The electrostatic potential of a uniformly charged thin spherical shell of charge Q and radius R at a distance r from the centre is

    A) \[\frac{Q}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}r}\]for points outside and \[\frac{Q}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}R}\]points inside the shell

    B)  \[\frac{Q}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}r}\]for both points inside and outside the shell

    C)  zero for points outside and\[\frac{Q}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}r}\]for points inside the shell

    D)  zero for both points inside and outside the shell

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     If charge on a conducting sphere of radius R is Q then potential outside the sphere, \[{{V}_{out}}=\frac{1}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\frac{Q}{r}\] At the surface of sphere \[{{V}_{s}}=\frac{1}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\frac{Q}{R}\]
