Electric potential

Two charged spheres of radii 10 cm and 15 cm are connected by a thin wire. No current will flow, if they have

• The same charge on each

• The same energy

• The same potential

• The same field on their surfaces

Inside a hollow charged spherical conductor, the potential

• Varies directly as the distance from the centre

• Varies inversely as the distance from the centre

• Varies inversely as the square of the distance from the centre

• Is constant

A hollow metal sphere of radius 5 cm is charged so that the potential on its surface is 10 V. The potential at the centre of the sphere is

• 0 V

• 10 V

• Same as at point 5 cm away from the surface

• Same as at point 25 cm away from the surface

If a unit positive charge is taken from one point to another over an equipotential surface, then

• Work is done on the charge

• Work is done by the charge

• Work done is constant

• No work is done

Three charges 2q, -q, -q are located at the vertices of an equilateral triangle. At the centre of the triangle

• The field is zero but potential is non-zero

• Both field and potential are zero

• Both field and potential are non-zero

• The field is non-zero but potential is zero
