A point charge q is kept inside an uncharged conducting spherical shell. The radius of the shell is R and the charge is kept inside the shell at a distance x from the center. Identify the correct statement.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Net force on the shell is towards left side
Charge induced near the surface closer to the charged particle will be more and hence sphere will be attracted to the charge q. Hence net force is towards left.
