A thin spherical shell is charged by some source. The potential difference between the two points $C$ and $P$ (in $V$) shown in the figure is; (Take $\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}=9\times10^{9}$ SI units, $R=3$ cm, $q=1\mu C$)
The electric potential due to a uniformly charged spherical shell is constant everywhere inside the shell and equal to its value on the surface. Hence $V_C = V_P$ $\therefore$ Potential difference = 0

The variation of electrostatic potential with radial distance r from the centre of a positively charged metallic thin shell of radius R is given by the graphInside a uniformly charged thin spherical shell, the potential is constant (equal to the potential at the surface). Outside, the potential falls off as $\dfrac{1}{r}$, exactly as for a point charge at the centre. This corresponds to a curve that is flat for $rR$.
