Charged sphere

The above graph shows the electric potential inside or around a charged sphere as a function of r r which denotes the distance from the center of the sphere. If the radius of the sphere is R 0 , R_0, which of the following statements are correct?

a) The charged sphere is charged positively.
b) The intensity of the electric field inside the charged sphere is zero.
c) The intensity of the electric field at r = 2 R 0 r=2R_0 is twice as large as that at r = 4 R 0 . r=4R_0.

a) only a) and b) a) and c) c) only

The voltage inside the sphere is +ve .So it is sure that the charge of the sphere is +ve.

Inside the sphere the voltage is constant . So that electric field inside the sphere is 0 as electric field {E}=-dv/dr

how voltage is posotive?

As the voltage is +ve[V=q/(4π€r)]

Its clear from the graph friend that the voltage is V and being above Y axis, it is logical to think that it is positive.
