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 conductors of the same shape and size,one of copper and the other of aluminium (which is less conducting),are placed in a uniform electric field. What can be said about the charge induced in the aluminium conductor?

Can there be a potential difference between two adjacent conductors carrying the same charge?

$A$ dipole consisting of two charges $\pm q$ separated by a distance $2a$ is placed with its centre at a distance $D$ from the center of a grounded conducting sphere of radius $R$ $(D \gg a)$. When the dipole moment vector is perpendicular to the line joining the two centres (those of the dipole and sphere),the total charge induced on the sphere is:

Which of the following statements are correct?
