Charged Conducting Sphere

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

7S is a solid neutral conducting sphere. A point charge q of 1 × 10–6 C is placed at point A. C is the centre of sphere and AB is a tangent. BC = 3m and AB = 4m. (1) The electric potential of the conductor is 1.8 kV (2) The electric potential of the conductor is 2.25 kV (3) The electric potential at B due to induced charges on the sphere is – 0.45 kV (4) The electric potential at B due to induced charges on the sphere is 0.45 kV

A positive point charge q is brought near a neutral metal sphere.

A conducting sphere carrying charge Q is surrounded by a spherical conducting shell. a. What is the net charge on the inner surface of the shell? b. Another charge q is placed outside the shell. Now, what is the net charge on the inner surface of the shell? c. If q is moved to a position between the shell and the sphere, what is the net charge on the inner surface of the shell? d. Are your answer valid if the sphere and shell are not concentric?

Inside a neutral hollow conducting sphere of radius X and centre C, a point charge q is placed as shown in the figure. Another point charge q_1 , is placed outside the sphere at distance d from centre. The net- electrostatic force on charge q placed at the centre is K=1/(4piepsilon_0)

A conducting sphere of radius r has a charge . Then .

The centre of neutral conducting sphere of radius "R" is at distance 'd' from a point charge "Q" .The potential of the sphere is
