NEET (UG) 2024 — Question 31

A thin spherical shell is charged by some source. The potential difference between the two points CC and PP (in V ) shown in the figure is:

(Take 14πε0=9×109\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}}=9 \times 10^{9} SI units)

figure

  1. Option A:

    3×1053 \times 10^{5}

  2. Option B:

    1×1051 \times 10^{5}

  3. Option C:

    0.5×1050.5 \times 10^{5}

  4. Option D:

    Zero

    Correct

Answer: D

Step-by-step solution

For uniformly charged spherical shell,

V=kqR For r≤R ) V=\frac{k q}{R} \quad \quad \quad \text { For } r \leq R \text { ) }

∴VC=VP\therefore \quad V_{C}=V_{P}

VC−VP= Zero V_{C}-V_{P}=\text { Zero }
