$A$ metallic rod is placed in a uniform electric field. Select the correct option.

  • A
    Inside the rod there will be an induced electric field from $B$ to $A$.
  • B
    Free electrons will accumulate at the end $B$ of the rod.
  • C
    The potential of the end $A$ will be more than that at $B$.
  • D
    The electric field outside the rod will not change due to the induced charged in the rod.

Consider an initially neutral hollow conducting spherical shell with inner radius $r$ and outer radius $2r$. $A$ point charge $+Q$ is now placed inside the shell at a distance $r/2$ from the centre. The shell is then grounded by connecting the outer surface to the earth. $P$ is an external point at a distance $2r$ from the point charge $+Q$ on the line passing through the centre and the point charge $+Q$ as shown in the figure. The magnitude of the force on a test charge $+q$ placed at $P$ will be

Two charged conducting spheres of radii $a$ and $b$ are connected to each other by a wire. What is the ratio of electric fields at the surfaces of the two spheres? Use the result obtained to explain why charge density on the sharp and pointed ends of a conductor is higher than on its flatter portions.

$A$ charge of $Q$ coulomb is placed on a solid piece of metal of irregular shape. The charge will distribute itself:
