How does electric potential vary from point to point due to a thin charged spherical shell? Draw a graph showing variation of potential with distance.
✅ Answer & Solution
๐ Variation of Electric Potential with Distance:
For a thin charged spherical shell of radius <b>R</b> and charge <b>Q</b>:

Inside (r R) | V = kQ/r (decreases as 1/r)
Graph Description:
โ Constant inside (V = kQ/R)
โ Hyperbolic decrease outside (V โ 1/r)
Key Points:
โข <b>Inside</b>: E = 0 โ V = constant = surface value.
โข <b>Outside</b>: V decreases like 1/r (similar to point charge).
