Question

An ideal dipole of dipole moment $\vec{P}$ is placed in front of an uncharged conducting sphere of radius R as shown.

The potential at point A is $\frac{K P}{{(r - R)}^{2}}$

The potential due to dipole at point B is $\frac{K P}{r^{2}}$

The potential at point B is $\frac{K P}{{(r + R)}^{2}}$

The potential at point A is $\frac{K P}{r^{2}}$

Potential at center due to induced charger on the conductor is zero (by symmetry), and net potential at each point of conductor is same as that at center, i.e. $(\frac{K P}{r^{2}})$ .
