Consider a neutral conducting sphere. $A$ positive point charge is placed outside the sphere. The net charge on the sphere is then,

  • A
    negative and distributed uniformly over the surface of the sphere
  • B
    negative and appears only at the point on the sphere closest to the point charge
  • C
    negative and distributed non-uniformly over the entire surface of the sphere
  • D
    zero
