The potential at any point between infinity and the outer side of the outer shell is what?lorx99 said:
Potential from any point between inifitiy and outer side is just V=KQ/R. Going thru the outshell to just inner side of outershell is practically zero? So, is that why it is just V=KQ/R?rude man said:
Edit: your answer is right but you reasoned wrong.lorx99 said:
I am confused. What distance you mean?rude man said:
The distance d in the formula for potential kQ/d. Or, to find the potential by integrating the E field, what are the limits of integration?lorx99 said:
I think i understand. First, integrate from infinity to 2R which is K2Q/(2R). Then integrate from outer to inner surface of the outer shell, it would be 0 because E=0 inside the shell since V integeates over the efield which is just zer0. So the potential is KQ/r since the Qs cancel.rude man said:
Straight A!lorx99 said:
The formula for calculating the electric potential at radius R of concentric spheres is V = kQ/R, where V is the electric potential, k is the Coulomb's constant, Q is the total charge of the sphere, and R is the distance from the center of the sphere.
The electric potential at radius R of concentric spheres is the sum of the electric potentials of each individual sphere, whereas the electric potential of a single sphere only takes into account the charge and distance from the center of that specific sphere.
Yes, the electric potential at radius R of concentric spheres can be negative if the total charge of the spheres is negative. This indicates that the electric potential is decreasing as the distance from the center of the spheres increases.
The distance between the concentric spheres does not have a direct effect on the electric potential at radius R. However, the electric potential at radius R will depend on the distance from the center of the spheres, which in turn can be affected by the distance between the spheres.
The unit of measurement for electric potential at radius R of concentric spheres is volts (V). This is the same unit used for electric potential in general.
