Two metal spheres $A$ and $B$ of radii $a$ and $b$ $(a < b)$ respectively are at a large distance apart. Each sphere carries a charge of $100 \mu C$. The spheres are connected by a conducting wire,then

  • A
    Charge will flow from $A$ to $B$
  • B
    Charge will flow from $B$ to $A$
  • C
    No charge flows in the wire
  • D
    All charges will reside on the connecting wire

$A$ 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:

$A$ 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:

Two insulated charged conducting spheres of radii $20\,cm$ and $15\,cm$ respectively and having an equal charge of $10\,C$ are connected by a copper wire and then they are separated. Then

Is the induced charge on the surface of a metal or inside it?
