b) rough handling

c) heating

d) All of the above

Answer: (d)

Question : 5

Potential at any point inside a charged hollow sphere

a) is a constant

b) decreases with distance from centre

c) increases with distance

d) is zero

Answer: (a)

As, E = $ -{dV}/{dr}$ or, O= $- {dV}/{dr}$

Because electric field inside a charged hollow sphere is zero. or, v = constant
