The electrostatic potential on the surface of a charged conducting sphere is 200V. Two statements are made in this regard:
Statement 1 : At any point inside the sphere, electric field intensity is zero.
Statement 2 : At any point inside the sphere, the electrostatic potential is 200V.
Which of the following is a correct statement?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
Electric field is zero inside the conductor and hence electric Potential is a constant inside the conductor because E = -dV/dr = 0, hence V is constant.
