A charge q is placed at O in the cavity ...

A charge q is placed at O in the cavity in a sphereical uncharged conductor. Points S is outside the conductor. If q is displaced from O towards S (still remaining within the cavity)

A

Electric field due to induced charged at S increases

B

Electric field due to induced charge at S decreases

C

Electric field due to induced charge at S first increase then decrease.

D

Electric field due to induced charge at S will not change.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Electric due '-q' at 'S' is equal to electric field due to charge particle 'q'
