Q. Consider a sphere of radius R having charge q uniformly distributed inside it. At what minimum distance from its surface the electric potential is half of the electric potential at its centre?
Dear Student
we know potential outside the sphere is V1 = kQ/x where x is the distance from the center x>r
and potential inside the sphere V1 = kQ/2r [3-x2/r2]
for center put x=0 Vo = 3kQ/2r
condition given is V1 = Vo/2
kQ/x = (3kQ/2r)/2
x=4r/3
distance from the surface is =x-r
= 4r/3 -r =r/3
