Q33 · Physics
A point charge Q is placed inside a cavity within a solid isolated conducting sphere. Consider points A, B and C as shown in the figure, where the magnitudes of the electric fields are , and , respectively. The points B and C are at the same distance from the center of the solid sphere. The correct option is :
The figure, described in words
Conducting sphere with an off-centre cavity containing Q; A is inside the cavity near Q; C and B are outside the sphere on opposite sides at equal distance from its centre.
