NEET 2024 Physics, question 6

Question 6 of the NEET 2024 paper (code T2) is a Physics question from Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance. Its idea, Potential and Energy near a Charged Sphere, was asked 3 times, in 2024 and 2026, across NEET 2017–2026. The NTA final answer key gives option 2.

Q6 · Physics

A thin spherical shell is charged by some source. The potential difference between the two points CC and PP (in V) shown in the figure is:

(Take 14πϵ0=9×109\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} = 9\times10^9 SI units)

The figure, described in words

Charged thin spherical shell of radius R = 3 cm with charge q = 1 μC; C is the centre and P a point on the shell surface.
