Question 1305:
An isolated metal sphere of radius R, carrying an electric charge Q, is situated in the medium of relative permitivity, Er. A test charge is placed at a point p, distance r from the surface of the sphere. Let Eo represent the permitivity of free space. The electric potential at p is given by the expression
  • A \(\frac{Q}{4 \pi E_o E_r}\)
  • B \(\frac{Q}{4 \pi E_o E_r (R +r)}\)
  • C \(\frac{Q}{4 \pi E_o E_r(R - r)}\)
  • D \(\frac{Q}{4 \pi E_o E_rR}\)
