Anegatively charged rod is brought near a neutral metal sphere. which of the following is true? a negatively charged rod is brought near a neutral metal sphere. which of the following is true? there is no electric force between the rod and sphere. there is a repulsive force between the rod and sphere. there is an attractive force between the rod and sphere.

There is an attractive force between the rod and sphere.

Explanation:

When negatively charged rod is placed close to the metal sphere then due to the electric field of the rod the opposite free charge of metal sphere comes closer to the rod on one surface

While similar charge in the metal sphere move away from the rod due to repulsion of electric field of rod

This temporary charge distribution of the metal sphere is known as induction

And since opposite charge on the metal surface comes closer to the metal sphere so here we can say that the rod will attract the metal sphere

so here correct answer will be

There is an attractive force between the rod and sphere.

one "light year" is the distance that light travels, through vacuum, in one julian year.   that's 365.25 days, of 24 hours each.
