An uncharged conductor A is brought near...

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 0

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 on B will remain th same as it is not touched with any other body. Charge induced on A will decrease the potential of B.
