- Sahil Jain the solution to this is very long. Ultimately we can say that the sphere is isolated . Upvote·0· Reply ·2014-06-02 23:24:33
Sushovan Halder the ans. is right but give some hints
1161@Sushovan I told you that this question can be solved on the basis of image charge which we don't have to study at all. One explanation you can give this is, this situation is not different from an isolated Conductor whose other surface is at infinity.
