Physics Question from JEE Main 2023 · 6 April, Shift 1

For a uniformly charged thin spherical shell, the electric potential (VV) radially away from the center of the shell can be graphically represented as:

A thin spherical shell with center O and a radius marked from O to point A on the surface, labeled R.
  • A
    Graph of electric potential V versus radial distance r showing constant potential up to r = R, then decreasing linearly beyond R.
  • B
    Graph of electric potential V versus radial distance r rising linearly from the origin up to r = R, then decreasing along a curved path.
  • C
    Graph of electric potential V versus radial distance r increasing nonlinearly up to r = R, then decreasing linearly beyond R.
  • D
    Graph of electric potential V versus radial distance r remaining constant from the center to r = R, then decreasing nonlinearly for r greater than R.
