A thin spherical shell is charged by some source. The potential difference between the two points $C$ and $P$ (in V ) shown in the figure is: (Take $\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0}=9 \times 10^9$ SI units)
  1. $1 \times 10^5$
  2. $0.5 \times 10^5$
  3. Zero
  4. $3 \times 10^5$

Solution

For uniformly charged spherical shell, $\begin{aligned} & V=\frac{k q}{R} \quad(\text { For } r \leq R) \\ & \therefore \quad V_C=V_P \\ & \\ & V_C-V_P=\text { Zero } \end{aligned}$ .
