Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
When a point positive charge is brought near an isolated conductiong sphere, then there develops some negative charge on left side of the sphere. Electric lines of forces emmanting from the point positive charge end normally on the left side of the sphere. And due to positive charge on the right side of the sphere, the electric field is best given by figure (a).
