Consider a sphere of radius $R$ with uniform charge density and total charge $Q$. The electrostatic potential distribution inside the sphere is given by $\theta_{(r)}=\frac{Q}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0} R}\left(a+b(r / R)^{C}\right)$. Note that the zero of potential is at infinity. The values of $(a, b, c)$ are

A hemispherical bowl of mass $m$ is uniformly charged with charge density $'\sigma '$ . Electric potential due to charge distribution at a point $'A'$ is (which lies at centre of radius as shown).

Two point charges $-Q$ and $+Q / \sqrt{3}$ are placed in the xy-plane at the origin $(0,0)$ and a point $(2,0)$, respectively, as shown in the figure. This results in an equipotential circle of radius $R$ and potential $V =0$ in the $xy$-plane with its center at $(b, 0)$. All lengths are measured in meters.
