Question

A positively charged body $\text{A}$ has been brought near a neutral brass sphere $\text{B}$ mounted on a glass stand as shown in the figure. The potential of $\text{B}$ will be-

• A. Zero
• B. Negative
• C. Positive
• D. Infinite

Answer 1

The correct option is A Zero

Given, $\text{B}$ is neutral, thus net charge on $\text{B}$ will be zero. i.e, $q_{net}=0$

Therefore, Net potential of $\text{B}$ will be zero. i.e, $V_B=0$
