JEE · NEET Previous Year Question
Consider a neutral conducting sphere. A positive point charge is placed outside the sphere. Then the net charge on the sphere is:
Topic: JEE PYQ
Answer: D. Full step-by-step solution below.
- Anegative and distributed uniformly over the surface of the sphere.
- Bnegative and appears only at the point on the sphere closest to the point charge.
- Cnegative and distributed non-uniformly over the entire surface of the sphere.
- Dzero.
Correct answer: D
Solution
(d) Sphere is electrically neutral and net charge never changes due to induction. Therefore, net charge will be zero.More Capacitance PYQs
