Question

An isolated spherical conductor is charged. The conductor has a radius $R$ and an electric potential $V$ . The electric field strength at its surface is $E$ .

Point $T$ is a distance $2R$ from the surface.

What are the electric field strength and electric potential at $T$ ?

	Electric field strength	Electric potential
(A)	$\dfrac{E}{2}$	$\dfrac{V}{4}$
(B)	$\dfrac{E}{9}$	$\dfrac{V}{3}$
(C)	$\dfrac{E}{4}$	$\dfrac{V}{2}$
(D)	$\dfrac{E}{9}$	$\dfrac{V}{9}$
