Question No : 6
| An uncharged sphere of metal is placed inside a charged parallel plate capacitor. The lines of force will look like |
| a) |  | b) |  |
| c) |  | d) |  |
Answer No : 6
(a)When
metal sphere is placed inside a charged parallel plate capacitor, the
electric lines of force will not enter the metallic conductor as  inside a charged conductor.
Moreover, the surface of a charged conductor is an equipotential surface and
hence, electric lines of force are always perpendicular to equipotential
surface. |
