Potential Difference (p.d) CET
P.d across two points is the work done to move a unit
positive charge, from one point to another point.

CET Question 6
The angle between the equipotential surface and the electric
field (or line of force) at any point on the equipotential
surface is
a) 0o b) 45o c) 90o d) 180o

CET Question 7
In the electric field of a point charge q , a certain charge is
carried from point A to B, C, D and E as shown. Then the work
done
Electrostatic potential
is constant
throughout the
volume and is equal
to that on the
surface.
Outside it varies
inversely with r.
Potential due to a charged spherical conductor CET
CET Question 8
A hollow metal sphere of radius 10 cm is charged such that the
potential on its surface is 80 volts. The potential at the centre
of the sphere is

CET Question 9
For a uniformly charged spherical shell of radius r, which one
of the following graph shows the variation of the potential
with distance x from the centre of the shell?

CET Question 10
A hollow charged metal sphere has radius r. if the potential
difference between its surface and a point at distance 3r
from the centre is V, then the electric field intensity at a
distance 3r from the centre is
CET Question 10
CET Question 11
Equal charges are given to two metal spheres of different
radii. The potential will a) be more on the smaller sphere
b) be more on the bigger sphere
c) be equal on both the sphere
d) depend on the nature of the
material of the sphere
Therefore,
V will be more on the smaller
sphere.
Electric field and Electric potential CET
Electrostatic field is negative potential gradient.
In 3 dimensional space.
V = f (x,y,z) , then
