Induced Charge on a Grounded Sphere
A neutral conducting sphere is placed in a uniform electric field between two oppositely charged plates. The sphere is positioned in the region of positive potential. While remaining in the field, the sphere is temporarily connected to the ground. The ground connection is then removed, and the sphere is subsequently taken out of the electric field. What is the resulting net charge on the sphere?
A
It remains zero
B
It becomes positive
C
It depends on which plate was positively charged
D
It becomes negative
