A point positive charge is brought near an isolated conducting sphere. The electric field is best given by
A. Fig (i)
B. Fig (ii)
C. Fig (iii)
D. Fig (iv)
When a point positive charge is brought near an isolated conducting sphere, then there develops some negative charge on the left side of the sphere and an equal positive charge on the right side of the sphere. Electric lines of force emanating from the point positive charge end normally on the left side of the sphere. Due to the positive charge on the right side of the sphere, the electric lines of force emanate normally from the right side.
The answer is the option (a)
