  • question_answer
    A metallic solid sphere is placed in a uniform electric field. The lines of force follow the path(s) shown in figure as                                                                                                                        [IIT 1996]

    A)                    1

    B)                                      2

    D)                                      4

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                 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).
