A thin spherical conducting shell of radius has a charge . Another charge is placed at the centre of the shell. The electrostatic potential at a point at a distance from the centre of the shell is:

  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
  4. D

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The potential at point is the sum of potentials due to the central charge and the charge on the shell.Potential due to charge at distance :

Potential due to the conducting shell with charge : Since is inside the shell (), the potential is uniform and equal to the potential on its surface:

Total potential .
