Motion of a charged particle in the field of a grounded conductive sphere is investigated. It is assumed that the field created by the sphere is quasi-static that implies limitation on particle velocities by nonrelativistic values and the possibility of neglecting magnetic interaction and heat losses. A classification is provided and possible particle trajectories are constructed in the examined case.
