A conducting ball is positively charged ...

A conducting ball is positively charged and another positive point charge is brought closer to the ball.

A

the ball may attract the point charge

B

the ball may repel th point charge

C

there may be no force between them

D

the ball will only repel the point charge and in no condition it can attract the point charge

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, C
Due to induction there will be shifting of charge on ball and force can be of any type depending upon the relative charge on them.
