MCQ
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: 
- AM attracts A.
- BM attracts B.
- CA attracts B.
- ✓B attracts A.
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
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.
Charge distribution or M, A & B
So, we can say that M attracts A, M attracts B, A attracts B and 'B' attracts A.
