Eight point charges of charge each are placed on the eight corners of a cube of side . A solid neutral metallic sphere of radius is placed with its centre at the centre of the cube. As a result, charges are induced on the sphere, which form a certain pattern on its surface. The electric potential of the sphere is
A wire having a uniform linear charge density is bent in the form of a ring of radius . The point as shown in the figure is in the plane of the ring but not at the center. Two elements of the ring of lengths and subtend very small same angle at a point . They are at distances and from the point , respectively
