Consider a neutral conducting sphere. A positive point charge is placed outside the sphere. The net charge on the sphere is then,
- negative and distributed uniformly over the surface of the sphere
- negative and appears only at the point of the sphere closest to the point charge
- negative and distributed non-uniformly over the entire surface of the sphere
- zero
Answer
(D) zero
