Consider a neutral conducting sphere. A positive point charge is placed outside the sphere. The net charge on the sphere is then
- A negative and distributed uniformly over the surface of the sphere
- B negative and appears only at the point on the sphere closest to the point charge
- C negative and distributed non-uniformly over the entire surface of the sphere
- D zero
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) zero
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Charge will be induced in the conducting sphere, but net charge on it will be zero.
\(\therefore \text {Option (d) is correct.}\)
\(\therefore \text {Option (d) is correct.}\)

- A uniform circular disc of mass and radius is rotating with an angular velocity of about its own axis, which is vertical. Two uniform circular rings, each of mass and radius , are gently placed symmetrically on the disc in such a manner that they are touching each other along the axis of the disc and are horizontal. Assume that the friction is large enough such that the rings are at rest relative to the disc and the system rotates about the original axis. The new angular velocity of the system isJEE Advanced 2013 Medium
