Question

At distance of 5 cm and 10 cm outwards from the surface of a uniformly charged solid sphere, the potentials are 100 V and 75 V respectively. Then :

Options

A.potential at its surface is 150 V
B.the charge on the sphere is (5/3) × 10-10 C
C.the electric field on the surface is 1500 V/m
D.the electric potential at its centre is 225 V

Solution

Potential at 5 cm from surface = = 100
Potential at 10 cm from surface = = 75 ⇒ R = 10 cm
∴  Potential at surface  = = 150 V
Electric field on surface = = 1500 V/m
