A negatively charged rod is moved near conducting sphere as shown. What will be the movements of the electrons and protons in the conducting sphere?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The protons are fixed in the nuclei and the nuclei are not free to move from their fixed positions in the solid sphere. The free electrons in the conducting sphere moves to right which are being repelled to the right by the negatively charged rod.

Assertion: A positively charged rod is held near a neutral conducting solid sphere as illustrated below. The sphere lies on a insulated stand. The potential of ground (or earth) is zero. The potential at point A (point A need not be centre of the sphere) is higher compared to potential of gound (earth). Reason: In this situation of assertion, the potential at the centre of conducting sphere is positive. the solid sphere being conducting, potential at each point in the sphere is same.
