$A$ hollow conducting sphere is placed in an electric field produced by a point charge placed at $P$ as shown in the figure. Let $V_A, V_B$,and $V_C$ be the potentials at points $A, B$,and $C$ respectively,where $A$ and $B$ are on the surface of the sphere and $C$ is inside the sphere. Then:

  • A
    $V_C > V_B$
  • B
    $V_B > V_C$
  • C
    $V_A > V_B$
  • D
    $V_A = V_B = V_C$
