$A$ point charge of magnitude $+ 1\,\mu C$ is fixed at $(0, 0, 0)$. An isolated uncharged spherical conductor is fixed with its center at $(4, 0, 0)$. The potential and the induced electric field at the center of the sphere are:

  • A
    $1.8 \times 10^5\,V$ and $-5.625 \times 10^6\,V/m$
  • B
    $0\,V$ and $0\,V/m$
  • C
    $2.25 \times 10^5\,V$ and $-5.625 \times 10^6\,V/m$
  • D
    $2.25 \times 10^5\,V$ and $0\,V/m$

Three identical uncharged metal spheres are at the vertices of an equilateral triangle. One at a time,a small sphere is connected by a conducting wire with a large metal sphere that is charged. The center of the large sphere is on the straight line perpendicular to the plane of the equilateral triangle and passing through its center (see figure). As a result,the first small sphere acquires charge $q_1$ and the second acquires charge $q_2$ $(q_2 < q_1)$. The charge that the third sphere $q_3$ will acquire is (Assume $l >> R$,$l >> r$,$d >> R$,$d >> r$):
