The electrostatic potentiaLon the surface of a charged conducting sphere is 100 V. Two statements are made in this regard.
S1 : At any point inside the sphere, electric intensity is zero.
S2: At any point inside the sphere, the electrostatic potential is 100 V.
Which of the following is a correct statement?
(a) S1is true but S2 is false
(b) Both S1 and S2 are false
(c) S1 is true, S2 is also true and S1, is the cause of S2
(d) S2 is true, S2 is also true but the statements are independent

(c) As we know that E= - and potential is always same through out the surface, so according to relation electric field is zero because potential remains same at each point.

This chapter covers the concepts of potential, capacitors, and potential energy. It is considered as one of the easy chapter of the class 12 Physics.
It is the farad (F). The name came from Michael Faraday. SI Unit of Capacitance means the ability of a system to store an electric charge. One farad is the capacitance of a device that needs one coulomb of charge to provide one volt potential difference across it. Mathematically, it is represented by - 1 Farad = 1 Coulomb/Volt.
In JEE Main Physics, electric potential and capacitance chapter has a weightage of 3% to 6%. You can expect around 1 or 2 questions from this chapter which carries 4 to 8 marks.
