A positive point charge q is placed at the center of an uncharged metal sphere insulated from the ground. The outside of the sphere is then grounded. Then the ground wire is removed. A is the inner surface and B is the outer surface.
Which statement is correct?

A. The charge is –q/2 on both A and on B.
B. The charge on A is –q; there is no charge on B.
C. There is no charge on either A or B
D. The charge on A is –q; that on B is +q.
E. The charge on B is –q; that on A is +q.

B.The charge on A is -q; there is no charge on B.

Explanation:

We are given that

Charge=+q

We have to find the correct statement.

When positive charge is placed at center of uncharged metal sphere

insulated from the ground then negative charge(-q) induced on inner

surface  A  of sphere  and the outer  surface B  is grounded then the surface is neutral .

It means there is no charge on surface B.

Hence, option B is true .

B.The charge on A is -q; there is no charge on B.
