To find the potential at the center of the sphere, we can use the fact that the potential inside a hollow, uniformly charged sphere is constant and equal to the potential on its surface.
Since the potential on the surface is given as 5 volts, we can conclude that the potential at the center of the sphere is also 5 volts.
This is because the charge is uniformly distributed on the surface of the sphere, so there is no electric field inside the hollow region. Therefore, the potential is constant throughout the interior, including at the center.
