A dipole having dipole moment p is placed in front of a solid uncharged conducting sphere as shown in the diagram. The net potential at point A lying on the surface of the sphere is:
A
B
C
zero
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
In a conductor, potential is same everywhere
Potential at A = potential at centre
= V due to p + V due to induced charges
= 
+ 0 =
