A spherical metallic conductor has a spherical cavity. A positive charge is placed inside the cavity at its centre. Another positive charge is placed outside it. The conductor is initially electrically neutral. {:(,"Column I (Cause)",,,"Column II (Effect)"),((A),"If outside is shifted to other position",,(p),"Distribution of charge on innner surface"),(,,,,"of cavity charges"),((B),"If inside charge is shifted to other position",,(q),"Distribution of charge on outer surface of"),(,,,,"conductor charges"),((C),"If magnitude of charge inside cavity is",,(r),"Electric potential at the centre of conductor"),(,"increased",,,"changes due to charges present"),(,,,,"on outer surface of conductor"),((D),"If conductor is earthed",,(s),"Force on the charge placed inside"),(,,,,"cavity changes"):}

Two conducting plates A and B are placed parallel to each other. A is given a charge. Q_1 and B a charge Q_2 . Find the distribution of charges on the four surface.

Assertion: All the charge in a conductor gets distributed on whole of its outer surface. Reason: In a dynamic system, charges try to keep their potential energy minimum.

Explain the distribution of earthquake and volcanic plate.
