A positively charged glass rod is brought near uncharged metal sphere, which is mounted on an insulated stand. If the glass rod is removed, the net charge on the metal sphere is

  1. A negative charge
  2. B zero
  3. C \(1.6 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{C}\)
  4. D positive charge
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) zero

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

If the metal sphere is connected to insulated
mount, then net flow due to induction of charges is zero and hence even after, the net charge on the metal sphere will be zero.
