A metallic solid sphere is placed in a uniform electric fied. The lines of force follow the path(s) shown in Figure as

A

(a) 1

B

(b) 2

C

(c) 3

D

(d) 4

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The electric lines of force cannot enter the metallic sphere as electric field inside the solid metallic sphere is zero. Also, the origination and termination of the electric lines of force from the metallic surface is normally (directed towards the centre).
