Solution

  1. The electric potential due to a charge at a distance r is given by; V=14πε0qr
  2. ​If the conductor is charged positively; the electric potential will be; 14πε0+qr
  3. Thus, the charged co9nductor is always at positive potential.

Thus,

Option a) Is always at +ve potential is the correct option.
