A small metallic sphere S of charge +q is placed exactly at a point midway between two-point charges \({A}(+{Q})\) and \({B}(+{Q})\) where \({Q} \gg {q}\) . If the sphere is slightly displaced towards charge A and released, then:
- it will move further towards A
- it will move towards B
- it will oscillate about its original position
- it will not move at all
Answer
(A) it will move further towards A
