A point positive charge is brought near an isolated conducting sphere as shown in figure the electric field is best given by

Options

A. Fig (i)
B. Fig (iii)
C. Fig (ii)
D. Fig (iv)

Answer

B

Explanation

As given charge is + g and lines of forces in positive charge must be outwards from positive charge q. Now, as the positive charge is kept near an isolated, conducting sphere, due to induction left part of sphere gets accumulated negative charge and right part gets, positive, and lines of force from right part of sphere must emerge outwards normally.
So, verifies the answer (B)
As lines of forces are not perpendicular to the surface of sphere, so options (iii) and (iv) are not true again. Hence option (C ) is not correct.
