Question

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 as shown. Then the ground wire is removed. A is the inner surface and B is the outer surface. Which statement is correct

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

the missing figure in the Question has been put in the attachment.

Then from the figure we can observe that

the center of the sphere is positive, therefore, negative charge will be induced at A.

As B is grounded there will not be any charge on B

Hence the answer is A is negative and B is charge less.
