Question

An uncharged conductor has a hollow inside of it. Within this cavity there is a charge of +10 mu C that does not touch the conductor. There are no other charges in the vicinity. Which statement about this conductor is true? The inner surface of the conductor carries a charge of -10 mu C and its outer surface carries no charge. The inner and outer surfaces of the conductor each contain charges of -5 mu C. The net field within the material the conductor away from the +10 mu C charge. The outer surface of the conductor contains +10 mu C charge and the surface contains -10 mu C. Both surfaces of the conductor carry no excess charge because the conductor is uncharged.

Explanation / Answer

answer is D

i.e The outer surface of the conductor contains + 10nc of charge and the inner surface contains -10nc of charge
