Electric potential doubt
Check the image attached. For electric potential when r< a, we are considering potential due to 1) charge at centre 2) induced charges
For induced charges, why have we taken the distance from the centre of sphere (a,b) and why not (a-r,b-r)

Note for OP
+solved @user1 @user2... to close the thread when your doubt is solved. Mention the users who helped you solve the doubt. This will be added to their stats.Potential within a charged spherical shell is constant and depends only on charge on the shell, and radius of the shell. It does not depend on where inside the shell the point we consider is
Oh I see. Ye this was mentioned in cengage. Do you have any good book recommendations for potential in continuous charge distributions? Resnick halliday and krane doesn't cover these and cengages theory is a bit terrible to study with
Any full book recommendation would do as well
Hmm
Griffiths does that, but it might be overkill
Because even though I understand the mathematics I find it a bit hard to grasp intuitively without resnick halliday
Probably
How long would it take me to cover potential from Griffith?
Never mind, i remembered Griffiths does it the vector calculus way.
Hmm
Any teacher recommendation then?
You can go for the Physics Galaxy books i suppose if you want the JEE oriented chapters
Jee oriented isn't necessary. In fact,I despise those books because they only have good problems,never good theory but yea,I'll give it a shot. Thank you
If you'd prefer more theory, and more difficult problems, you can try an Olympiad book like Wang&Ricardo
I actually did all of this from Griffiths ;-; so...
Because I was already familiar with vector calculus back then.
Oh damn 💀
But it's a huge topic, and utterly unnecessary for twelfth

Nah, Mains mein 200 bhi nahi aaya hai
Welp, thanks again
