In a certain charge distribution, all points having zero potential can be joined by a circle The points inside have positive potential, and points outside have a negative potential. A positive charge, which is free to move, is placed inside What is the correct statement about :
1. | It will remain in equilibrium |
2. | but it cannot cross | It can move inside
3. | at some time | It must cross
4. | It may move, but will ultimately return to its starting point |
