Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
When a point positive charge is brought near an isolated conducting sphere,the nearer side of it induces negative charge and further side positive ,Now electric field lines start form the positive charge and end at the negative charge.Also the field lines are normal to the conductor.Figure (i) is the best representation.
