Question
An electric charge, +Q is placed on the surface of a solid, conduction sphere of radius a. The distance
measured from the centre of the sphere is denoted as r. Then :
[GATE 2003]
(a) The charge gets distributed uniformly through the volume of the sphere
(b) The electrostatic potential has the same value for r <a
(c) An equal and opposite charge gets induced in the bottom half of the sphere
(d) The electric field is given by 1/(4tɛ,r² ) for r < a
