What is the potential at the centre of a spherical shell ofradius Rthat has a charge Quniformly distributed over its surface? Don’t do an integral of the electric field; just add up the contributions to the potential by the charges.
A rod uniformly charged with charge \( - q\) is bent into a semicircular arc of radius\(b\), as shown in Figure 16.97. What is the potential relative to infinity at location\(A\), at the center of the arc?

The graph in Figure 16.63 is a plot of electric potential versus distance from an object. Which of the following could be the object?
(1) A neutron, (2) A sodium ion (Na+), (3) A chloride ion (Cl−), (4) A proton, (5) An electron.
An isolated large plate capacitor (not connected to anything) originally has a potential difference of 1000 V with an air gap of 2 mm. Then a plastic slab 1 mm thick, with dielectric constant 5, is inserted in the middle of the air gap as shown in figure 16.96. Calculate the following potential differences and explain your work.

You travel along a path from location A to location B, moving in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the net electric field in that region.
What is true of the potential difference ?
