If a positive charge Q placed near a isolated metal cube then what will happen with the metal cube?

Answer»

Answer: The interior remains charge free and the surface gets non-uniform charge distribution. 

Explanation:

Since the cube is metallic, the charge gets distributed on the surface and the interior remains charge-free. However, when a positive point charge Q is brought near the metallic cube, a negative charge gets induced on the face near the positive charge Q and an equal positive charge gets induced on the face, which is away from the charge Q. Thus, the metallic surface gets a non-uniform charge distribution.
