PLEASE ANSWER IT ASAP
A spherical conductor is known to have a radius and a total charge of 10 cm and 20uC. If points Aand B are 15 cm and 5 cm from the center of the conductor, respectively. If a test charge, q = 25mC, is to bemoved from A to B, determine the following:a. The potential at A; b. The electric potential energy at B; c. The work done in moving the test charge; d. The rate of change of the potential with respect to length or displacement in the conductor
Can the potential of a non-uniformly charged sphere be the same as that of a point charge? Explain.
A point charge of q = 5.0 × 10-8 C is placed atthe center of an uncharged spherical conducting shell ofinner radius 6.0 cm and outer radius 9.0 cm.
Find the electric potential at
(a) r = 4.0 cm,
