Question
15. A hollow conductor is positively charged. A smalluncharged metal ball is lowered by a silk thread through a small opening in the top of the conductor andallowed to touch its inner surface. After the ball is removed, it will have: A) a positive charge B) a negative charge C) no appreciable charge D) a charge whose sign depends on what part of the innersurface it touched E) a charge whose sign depends on where the small hole islocated in the conductor 15.

as the conductor will have all its charge on the outer surface only the metal ball will have no appreciable charge
