Question
A metallic solid sphere is placed in a uniform electric field. The lines of force follow the path(s) shown in figure as
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 4
The correct answer is: 4
The electric field is always perpendicular to the surface of a conductor. On the surface of a metallic solid sphere, the electrical field is oriented normally (i.e. directed towards the centre of the sphere).
