### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Charge Distribution on a Conductor:** - When a charge is placed on an insulated conductor, it distributes itself on the surface of the conductor. The distribution is influenced by the geometry of the conductor. 2. **Analyzing the Cube Geometry:** - The cube has flat surfaces, edges, and corners. The curvature at these locations is different: - **Flat Surfaces:** The radius of curvature is infinite (flat surface). ...
