A spherical conductor `A` contains two spherical cavities as shown in Fig.2.127. The total charge on conductor itself is zero . However , there is a point charge `q_(1)` at the center of one cavity and `q_(2)` at the center of the other cavity . Another charge `q_(3)` is placed at a large distance `r` from the center of the spherical conductor.

If `q_(1)` is displaced from its center slightly (being always inside the same cavity ), then the correct representation of field lines inside the same cavity is

A

B

C

There will be no field lines inside the cavity.

D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Thereis charge inside cavity , so field lines will be present , but the potential at surface of conductor is same everywhere . So field lines should be perpendicular .
