$A$ charge $q$ is placed at $O$ in the cavity of a spherical uncharged conductor. Point $S$ is outside the conductor. If the charge is displaced from $O$ towards $S$ while still remaining within the cavity,then:

  • A
    electric field at $S$ will increase
  • B
    electric field at $S$ will decrease
  • C
    electric field at $S$ will first increase and then decrease
  • D
    electric field at $S$ will not change

Five identical conducting plates,each of face area $A$,are placed parallel to each other with a separation of $d$ between two adjacent plates as shown in the figure. The plates $M$ and $N$ are given charges $Q_1$ and $Q_2$ respectively and the remaining plates are neutral. If the outermost plates are grounded,the potential difference between the plates $M$ and $N$ is . . . . . .

$A$ dipole consisting of two charges $\pm q$ separated by a distance $2a$ is placed with its centre at a distance $D$ from the center of a grounded conducting sphere of radius $R$ $(D \gg a)$. When the dipole moment vector is perpendicular to the line joining the two centres (those of the dipole and sphere),the total charge induced on the sphere is:
