An ellipsoidal cavity is carved within a perfect conductor. A positive charge q is placed at the centre of the cavity. The points A and B are on the cavity surface as shown in the figure. Then

A

electric field near A in the cavity = electric field near B in the cavity

B

charge density at A = charge density at B

C

potential at A = potential at B

D

total electric field flux through the surface of the cavity is `q//epsilon_0`
