Electrostatics - Potential doubt
I understand that for a sphere V is KQ/R when r<R and KQ/r when r>R
But why is it such that the induced charges +q and -q on the surfaces of the conductor have no effect on the point outside(C)? Yet it does for points inside(A)? Thank you

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.Their effect essentially cancels out since the potential due to those induced charges doesn't depend on their distribution. You take distance from centre right? Consider the induced charges, and write down the potential terms. They will cancel out.
Oh yes 😠just realised how stupid this was, sorry
