A small metal ball is suspended in a uniform electric field with the help of an insulated thread. If high energy X-ray beam falls on the ball, the ball will be deflected in the direction of the field.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When a high-energy x-ray beam fails, it will knowk out electons from the small metal ball making it positively charged. Therefore, the ball will be deflected in the direction of electric field.
