An uncharged conductor A is brought near a positively charged conductor B. The size of the conductor A is much greater than the size of conductor B. Then,

A

the charge on `B` will increase, but the potential of `B` will not change.

B

the charge on `B` will not change, but the potential of `B` will decrease.

C

the charge on `B` will decrease, but the potential of `B` will not change.

D

the charge on `B` will not change, but the potential of `B` will increase.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b

Charge will be induce on `A`, but total charge on `A` will remain zero. Negative charge to `A` will be more closer to `B` than positive charge on `A`. So potential of `B` will decrease.
