$A$ solid conducting sphere has a cavity,as shown in the figure. $A$ charge $+q_1$ is situated away from the center. $A$ charge $+q_2$ is situated outside the sphere. Then the true statement is:

  • A
    Charge distribution on the outer surface of the sphere is uniform.
  • B
    Charge distribution on the inner surface of the sphere is uniform.
  • C
    Magnitude of force on charge $q_2$ due to induced charge on the inner surface of the sphere is $\frac{k q_1 q_2}{(R/2 + l)^2}$.
  • D
    Magnitude of force on charge $q_2$ due to induced charge on the inner surface of the sphere is zero.

Two concentric spherical shells of radius $R_1$ and $R_2$ have $q_1$ and $q_2$ charge respectively as shown in the figure. How much charge will flow through key $k$ when it is closed?

Three identical uncharged metal spheres are at the vertices of an equilateral triangle. One at a time,a small sphere is connected by a conducting wire with a large metal sphere that is charged. The center of the large sphere is on the straight line perpendicular to the plane of the equilateral triangle and passing through its center (see figure). As a result,the first small sphere acquires charge $q_1$ and the second acquires charge $q_2$ $(q_2 < q_1)$. The charge that the third sphere $q_3$ will acquire is (Assume $l >> R$,$l >> r$,$d >> R$,$d >> r$):
