A metallic solid sphere is placed in a uniform electric field. The lines of force follow the path(s) shown in Figure as

A

1

B

2

C

3

D

4

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
1, 2, & 3 are wrong because in metallic solid sphere, there is no field inside the sphere. Option (4) is correct from given reason and also it has field lines perpendicular to the surface (as required in metallic surface)
