In front of an earthed conductor a point charge +q is placed a shown in figure

A

On the surface of conductor the net charge is always negative

B

On the surface of conductor at some points charges are negative and at some points charges may be positive distributed non uniformly

C

Inside the conductor electric field due to point charge is non zero

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B, C

Charge is distributed over the surface of conductor in such a way that net field due to this charge and outside large q is zero inside. Field due to only q is non zero
