  • Option 2)

    V_{A}=V_{B}\neq V_{C}

  • Option 3)

    V_{A}\neq V_{B}\neq V_{C}

  • Option 4)

    V_{A}\neq V_{B}= V_{C}

As we learned

 

Inside the sphere (P lies inside the sphere) -

E_{in}=0

V_{in}=constant

- wherein

 

 

Potential inside a conductor is always constant and equal to the potential at the surface.


Option 1)

V_{A}=V_{B}=V_{C}

 

 

 

Option 2)

V_{A}=V_{B}\neq V_{C}

Option 3)

V_{A}\neq V_{B}\neq V_{C}

Option 4)

V_{A}\neq V_{B}= V_{C}
