$A$ charge $q$ is placed at $O$ in the cavity of a spherical uncharged conductor. Point $S$ is outside the conductor. If the charge is displaced from $O$ towards $S$ while still remaining within the cavity,then:

  • A
    electric field at $S$ will increase
  • B
    electric field at $S$ will decrease
  • C
    electric field at $S$ will first increase and then decrease
  • D
    electric field at $S$ will not change

Consider an initially neutral hollow conducting spherical shell with inner radius $r$ and outer radius $2r$. $A$ point charge $+Q$ is now placed inside the shell at a distance $r/2$ from the centre. The shell is then grounded by connecting the outer surface to the earth. $P$ is an external point at a distance $2r$ from the point charge $+Q$ on the line passing through the centre and the point charge $+Q$ as shown in the figure. The magnitude of the force on a test charge $+q$ placed at $P$ will be
