Physics Question from JEE Main 2023 · 31 January, Shift 1

Which of the following correctly represents the variation of electric potential (VV) of a charged spherical conductor of radius (RR) with radial distance (rr) from the centre?

  • A
    Graph of electric potential V versus radial distance r showing potential rising linearly from zero at centre to a maximum at r equals R, then decreasing outside.
  • B
    Graph of electric potential V versus radial distance r showing zero potential inside until r equals R, then a sudden jump to high value followed by decrease outside.
  • C
    Graph of electric potential V versus radial distance r showing constant potential from centre to r equals R, then decreasing smoothly with increasing r outside the conductor.
  • D
    Graph of electric potential V versus radial distance r showing continuously decreasing potential from centre onward, including inside and outside, without a flat region inside.
