Detailed Solution
As no charge is present inside the conductor, potential at any point inside the conductor is same as that of the potential of conductor. So potential of the conductor = potential at the center =Vq+Vinduced charges i.e., Vconductor =q4πε0(d+R)+0As the total induced charge at conductor's surface is equal to zero, the potential at center due to the induced charges is zero. For point BVconductor =Vat point B=Vq+Vinduced charges Vinduced charges =q4πε0(d+R)−q4πε0d=−qR4πε0d(d+R)
