Question
A dipole having dipole moment p is placed in front of a solid uncharged conducting sphere as shown in the diagram. The net potential at point A lying on the surface of the sphere is :
Options
A.
B.
C.zero
D.
Solution
(B) In a conductor, potential is same everywhere
∴ Potential at A = potential at centre = Vdue to p + Vdue to induced charges
=
+ 0 = 
∴ Potential at A = potential at centre = Vdue to p + Vdue to induced charges
=
+ 0 = Create a free account to view solution
