### Electric Potential Inside a Charged Solid Spherical Conductor in EquilibriumWhen dealing with the electric potential inside a charged solid spherical conductor in equilibrium, we have several points of consideration:A. **is always zero.**B. **is constant and equal to its value at the surface.**C. **decreases from its value at the surface to a value of zero at the center.**D. **increases from its value at the surface to a value at the center that is a multiple of the potential at the surface.**E. **is equal to the charge passing through the surface per unit time divided by the resistance.**#### Explanation:In a charged solid spherical conductor at equilibrium:- **Option B: "is constant and equal to its value at the surface."** This is the correct description. The electric potential inside a conductor in electrostatic equilibrium is constant everywhere inside the conductor and equals the electric potential at the surface. This is due to the fact that the electric field inside a conductor is zero when in equilibrium, thereby resulting in no potential difference within the conductor. Understanding these principles is essential for students studying electrostatics and conductor properties in physics.

An air-filled capacitor is charged, and then a dielectric is inserted. As a result, there is an induced charge on the dielectric. What is the difference between induced charge and free charge? Option 1: Induced charge is the charge that resides on the surface of the dielectric, while free charge is the charge that is free to move within the dielectric. Option 2: Induced charge is the charge that is created by the electric field of the capacitor, while free charge is the charge that is already present in the dielectric. Option 3: Induced charge is the charge that is attracted to the oppositely charged plates of the capacitor, while free charge is the charge that is repelled by the plates. Option 4: There is no difference between induced charge and free charge.
