Two particles having positive charges
and
are fixed at equal distance
from centre of a solid conducting sphere having zero net charge and radius
as shown. Initially the switch
is open. After the switch
is closed, the net charge flowing out of sphere is

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
After the sphere is grounded, potential of the conductor becomes zero.
Let the net charge on sphere finally be
.

∴ The charge flowing out of sphere is
