When a positively charged sphere is brought near a metallic sphere, it is observed that a force of attraction exists between the two. It means thatA. the metallic sphere may be electrically neutralB. the metallic sphere is necessarily negatively chargedC. nothing can be said about the charge of the metallic sphere.D. the metallic sphere may be negatively charged

Answer» Correct Answer - A::D
a.,d.
Suppose a positively charged sphere is brought near an unchanged metallic sphere, then on nearer surface of the uncharged sphere, negative charge is induced and on farther will obsrved between these two shperes. Therefore, if a force of attraction is observed between a positively charged sphere and a metallic sphere, it cannot be conclued that the metallic sphere is necessarily negatively charged. Therefore, option (b) is wrong and option (a) and (d) are correct.
