A spherical conductor is a three-dimensional object that allows for the flow of electric charge. When a point charge, or a single charge concentrated at a point, is placed on the surface of the conductor but not at the center, it creates an electric field that is radially symmetric around the point charge.
The electric field around a spherical conductor with a point charge not in the center is radially symmetric, meaning that it is the same in all directions from the point charge. The magnitude of the electric field decreases as the distance from the point charge increases.
The potential energy of a spherical conductor with a point charge not in the center is directly proportional to the product of the point charge and the electric potential at that point. It also depends on the distance from the point charge and the radius of the conductor.
The presence of the point charge on the surface of the spherical conductor creates an electric potential that is strongest at the point charge and decreases as the distance from the point charge increases. The point charge also affects the distribution of electric potential on the surface of the conductor.
Inside the spherical conductor with a point charge not in the center, the electric field is zero. This is because the free electrons in the conductor are free to move and will arrange themselves in such a way that the electric field inside is cancelled out. This is known as the Faraday cage effect.
