What happens if you cut the conductor in half (in the direction perpendicular to the direction of the E field) while keeping it in the external field? If the conductor is cut in half, both pieces will have a net negative charge. If the conductor is cut in half, both pieces will remain charge neutral with no net charge. If the conductor is cut in half, the left-hand piece will have a net positive charge while the right-hand piece will have a net negative charge If the conductor is cut in half, the left-hand piece will retain a net negative charge while the right-hand piece will retain a net positive charge

Explanation / Answer

Option 3 is the correct answer. If the elctric field direction is towards -x axis.

Option 4 is the correct answer. If the elctric field direction is towards +x axis.

because, electrons are always attracted towards opposite to the direction of the elctric field.

so, in the opposite oposite side positive charge is induced.
