why is the potential on the outer shielding sphere of spherical capacitor zero?
Asked by Dharvi Kumra | 22nd Jun, 2015, 12:46: PM
Expert Answer:
If we earth or ground the outer sphere of spherical capacitor, surface potential built at the outer sphere due to the charge is zero because the charge lies all within the outer sphere.
