Question

Which of the following conductors is at the highest potential?

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D

Answer 1

The correct option is B B

A conductor having excess positive charge density are said to be at high potential (positive potential) and a conductor having excess negative charge density (electrons) are said to be at a low potential (negative potential). Here in the figure, conductor B has the maximum positive charge density among the given conductors, so it is at the highest positive potential.
