APFIVE Electric Potential and Charging by Induction
Two identical, initially uncharged conducting spheres, A and B, are placed in a uniform electric field. Sphere A is momentarily grounded, and then the ground connection is removed. Sphere B is not grounded. Subsequently, both spheres are removed from the field. Which of the following correctly compares their final electric potentials?
A
Sphere A has zero potential; Sphere B has non-zero potential
B
Both spheres have equal non-zero potentials
C
Sphere A has non-zero potential; Sphere B has zero potential
D
Both spheres have zero potential
