There is a cubical cavity inside a conducting sphere of radius R. A positive point charge Q is placed at the centre of the cube and another positive charge q is placed at a distance 1(gtR) from the centre of the sphere. The sphere is earthed Net charge on the outer surface of conducting sphere is

A conducting sphere is negatively charged. Which of the following statements is true?

Asseration: A point charge q is placed at centre of spherical cavity inside a spherical conductor as shown. Another point charge Q is placed outside the conductor as shown. Now as the point charge Q is pushed away from conductor, the potential difference (V_(A) - V_(B)) between two points A and B within the cavity of sphere remains constant. Reason: The electric field due to charges on outer surface of conductor and outside the conductor is zero at all points inside teh conductor.
