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=Vhemisphere
⟹ $\frac{\sigma R }{\epsilon_0}$ =2Vhemisphere
Vhemisphere$\frac{\sigma R }{2\epsilon_0}$
