$A$ 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:

Some charge is being given to a conductor. Then its potential is

Consider an initially neutral hollow conducting spherical shell with inner radius $r$ and outer radius $2r$. $A$ point charge $+Q$ is now placed inside the shell at a distance $r/2$ from the centre. The shell is then grounded by connecting the outer surface to the earth. $P$ is an external point at a distance $2r$ from the point charge $+Q$ on the line passing through the centre and the point charge $+Q$ as shown in the figure. The magnitude of the force on a test charge $+q$ placed at $P$ will be
