Question

14A. Next to each of steps 1-6 shown below indicate the net charge on spheres X and Y after electrostatic equilibrium has been reached. How does the charge on X and Y in step 6 compare to the net charge on the charged sphere? Charge on X: 1) Two uncharged metal balls, Y and X, each stand on a glass rod and are touching Charge on Y: 2) A third bll carrying a positive charge, is Charge on X: brought near the first two. Charge on Y: 3) While the positions of these balls are fixed Charge on X: ball Y is connected to ground Charge on Y: 4) Then the ground wire is disconnected. Charge on X: Charge on Y: 3) Then the first two balls are separated from each other, Charge on X: Charge on Y: Charge on X: 4) and the third ball is finally removed Charge on Y:

Explanation / Answer

1. charge ox x = -ve

charge on y = -ve

2. charge on x is +ve

charge on y is -ve

3. charge on x = -ve

charge on y is neutral

4. charge on x is +ve

charge on y is -ve

5. charge on x is +ve

charge on y is -ve

6.charge on x is +ve

charge on y is -ve
