Explanation

The potential V on the surface of a charged hollow sphere is given by V = kQ / R, where k is Coulomb's constant (9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C²), Q is the charge, and R is the radius in meters. Given diameter = 8 cm, so radius R = 0.04 m. Substituting the values, V = (9 × 10⁹)(4 × 10⁻⁸) / 0.04 = 9000 volts.
