Question
A large nonconducting sheet M is given a uniform charge density. Two uncharged small metal rods A and B are placed near the sheet as shown in figure:
  1. M attracts A.
  2. M attracts B.
  3. A attracts B.
  4. B attracts A.

Answer

  1. B attracts A.
Explanation:

Charge distribution or M, A & B
So, we can say that M attracts A, M attracts B, A attracts B and 'B' attracts A.
