A spherical metallic conductor has a spherical cavity A

A spherical metallic conductor has a spherical cavity A positive charge is placed inside the cavity at its centre Another positive charge is placed outside it The conductor is initially electrically neutral Column I Cause Column II Effect If outside charge is shifted to other position p A B C D If inside charge is shifted to other position within cavity If magnitude of charge inside cavity is increased If conductor is earthed q r s Distribution of charge on inner surface of cavity changes Distribution of charge on outer surface of conductor changes Electric potential at the centre of conductor changes due to charges present on outer surface of conductor Force on the charge placed inside cavity changes
