Question
A metalic solid sphere is placed in a uniform electric field. The lines of force follow the path (s) shown in figure as
Options
A.1
B.2
C.3
D.4
Solution
Electric field lines never enters a metalic conductor (E = 0, inside a conductor) and they fall normally on the surface of a metallic conductor (because whole surface is at same potential and lines are perpendicular to the equipotential surface).
