NeedPhysHelp8 said:Thanks for the link, but I'm still very confused i don't even know where to start at. You said since its a conductor all points inside have the same electric potential so does this mean that i can find the potential at the surface and be right. And would the charge enclosed just be 4.4 X 10-9 C given in the question. I'm not too sure about what surface you're talking about.
The formula for calculating electric potential at the center of a uniform conducting sphere is V = kQ/R, where V is the electric potential, k is the Coulomb's constant, Q is the charge of the sphere, and R is the radius of the sphere.
The electric potential at the center of a uniform conducting sphere is the same as that of a point charge with the same magnitude of charge. This is because the electric field inside a conductor is zero, and thus the electric potential is constant throughout the sphere.
No, the electric potential at the center of a uniform conducting sphere cannot be negative. This is because the electric potential is always positive for a positive charge, and the electric field inside a conductor is zero. Therefore, the electric potential at the center of the sphere must be zero or positive.
The electric potential at the center of a uniform conducting sphere is directly proportional to the charge and inversely proportional to the radius. This means that if the charge is increased, the electric potential will also increase. And if the radius is increased, the electric potential will decrease.
No, the electric potential at the center of a uniform conducting sphere is not affected by the material of the sphere. This is because the electric field inside a conductor is zero, and the electric potential only depends on the charge and radius of the sphere.
