Question:

Options:

a

b

c

d

Correct Answer:

a

Explanation:

The potential at the centre of a spherical shell can be written as the sum of potential due to two identical hemispheres
Vtotal​=Vhemisphere1​​+Vhemisphere2​​
⟹Vtotal​=2 Vhemisphere​
⟹ $\frac{\sigma R }{\epsilon_0}$ =2Vhemisphere​
⟹Vhemisphere​= $\frac{\sigma R }{2\epsilon_0}$
