Four point charges $-Q, -q, 2q$ and $2Q$ are placed, one at each comer of the square. The relation between $Q$ and $q$ for which the potential at the centre of the square is zero is

Prove that, if an insulated, uncharged conductor is placed near a charged conductor and no other conductors are present, the uncharged body must be intermediate in potential between that of the charged body and that of infinity.

Two charges ${q_1}$ and ${q_2}$ are placed at $(0, 0, d)$ and$(0, 0, - d)$ respectively. Find locus of points where the potential is zero.

A spherical conductor of radius $2m$ is charged to a potential of $120\, V$. It is now placed inside another hollow spherical conductor of radius $6m$. Calculate the potential to which the bigger sphere would be raised......$V$

Consider an evacuated cylindrical chamber of height $h$ having rigid conducting plates at the ends and an insulating curved surface as shown in the figure. A number of spherical balls made of a light weight and soft material and coated with a conducting material are placed on the bottom plate. The balls have a radius $r \ll h$. Now a high voltage source ($HV$) is connected across the conducting plates such that the bottom plate is at $+V_0$ and the top plate at $-V_0$. Due to their conducting surface, the balls will get charged, will become equipotential with the plate and are repelled by it. The balls will eventually collide with the top plate, where the coefficient of restitution can be taken to be zero due to the soft nature of the material of the balls. The electric field in the chamber can be considered to be that of a parallel plate capacitor. Assume that there are no collisions between the balls and the interaction between them is negligible. (Ignore gravity)

($1$) Which one of the following statements is correct?

($A$) The balls will stick to the top plate and remain there
