A charged spherical conductor has two cavities. A point charge is placed inside the cavity- and inside the cavity-. '' charge is given to the conductor. A point charge '' is also placed outside the conductor. Choose the CORRECT alternative(s).



Important Questions on Electrostatics
Given below are two statements.
Statement I : Electric potential is constant within and at the surface of each conductor.
Statement II : Electric field just outside a charged conductor is perpendicular to the surface of the conductor at every point.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options give below.


A hollow conducting sphere is placed in an electric field produced by a point charge placed at as shown in figure. Let be the potentials at points and , respectively. Then

Consider an initially neutral hollow conducting spherical shell with inner radius and outer radius A point charge is now placed inside the shell at a distance from the center. The shell is then grounded by connecting the outer surface to the earth. P is an external point at a distance from the point charge on the line passing through the center and the point charge as shown in the figure.
The magnitude of the force on a test charge placed at P will be

Three concentric spherical shells are arranged as shown in the figure. The innermost and outermost spheres are connected to earth. If the middle sphere is given a charge . the charges induced in the innermost and outermost spheres respectively are




A spherical conductor is placed concentrically inside a hollow spherical conductor . The charge is given to and is earthed. Then the electric field is not zero



Which one of the following figures correctly indicates the induced charge distribution in the conductor (ignore edge effects).


As shown in figure there are two fixed uniformly charged concentric coplanar conducting rings having radius and and charges and respectively. A charge particle of mass & charge is projected along the axis of rings from point so that particle can just reach the center of rings (point ). (Assume .)



Reason: The electrical potential of a sphere of radius with charge uniformly distributed on the surface is given by .


Reason: The total transfer of charge from one to another is not possible.

Reason: In metal, induced electric field is equal and opposite of applied field.
