1. Electric Charges and Fields
normal

A charge $q$ is placed at $O$ in the cavity in a spherical uncharge $d$ conductor. Point $S$ is outside the conductor. If the charge is displaced from $O$ towards $S$ still remaining with in the cavity,

A

electric field at $S$ will increase

B

electric field at $S$ will decrease

C

electric field at $S$ will first increase and then decrease

D

electric field at $S$ will not change

Solution

The electric field is produced at $\mathrm{S}$ by the induced charge on the surface of the conductor and it will be unaffected due to movement of charge within the cavity.
