A charge q kept in front of a neutral metallic sphere. Find the electric field at the centre of sphere due to the induced charges on the surface of the sphere shown.

Strategy `:` The net electric field inside the conductor is zero. Thsi is produced by induced charges and the external charge.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`E_("induced") + E_(q) = 0 rArr E_("indcued") = (q)/(4 pi epsilon_(0)d^(2))`
