Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) face near the charge (+ q) becomes negatively charged, and the opposite face becomes positively charged

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

When a positive charge \((+q)\) is brought near a metal cube, it attracts free electrons toward the nearest face via electrostatic induction, making that face negatively charged. Consequently, the opposite face is left with a deficiency of electrons, becoming positively charged,…
