To find Potential due to a non conducting sphere
total charge inside it be ‘Q’
volumetric charge density be ‘ρ’.
Let R be the radius of the sphere.
We need to calculate potential due to a conducting shell at distance r such that it is inside sphere
We know the relation between volumetric charge density (ρ) and total charge within the volume (Q) :
We also know,
We also know the relation between electric field (E) and potential (dV)
Let the distance r from centre enclose a small sphere with radius r and charge q.
Q/R3 = q/r3 (from eq 1)
Integrating above equation and applying limits from r to R
VR - Vr = -kQR2/2R3 + kQr2/2R3
kQR2/R3 - Vr = kQr2/2R3 - kQR2/2R3
Vr = 3kQR2/2R3 - kQr2/2R3
=kQ/2R3 (3R2 - r2)
Ans is (A)
