- Akash Anand Do you know how to get that ? :)
- Sourish Ghosh How to do this?
Charges are induced on the inner walls of the conductor due to the charge q.
The net induced charge is zero due to Gauss Theorem.(Since electric field inside a conductor is always 0).
Since it is a conducting sphere,
potential at any point on the sphere (V)= potential at the center
V = potential at the center due to q + that due to induced charges
=q4πε0r+Σqi4πε0R
Where the second term is due to induced charges.
Since these charges are all at a distance of R from the center and net induced charge is 0 (or Σqi=0)
Σqi4πε0R=0
Therefore,
V = q4πε0r
