Question
X and Y are two initially uncharged metal spheres on insulating stands, and they are in contact with each other. A positively charged rod R is brought close to X as shown in part (a) of the figure. Sphere Y is now moved away from X, as shown in part (b). What are the final charge states of X and Y? The figure includes two illustrations labeled a and b. Illustration a shows two metal spheres, labeled X and Y, on isolating stands. Sphere Y is to the right of sphere X and they are in contact with each other. A positively charged rod R is brought close to a left side of sphere X. Illustration b shows sphere Y moved away from sphere X to the right. X and Y are two initially uncharged metal spheres on insulating stands, and they are in contact with each other. A positively charged rod R is brought close to X as shown in part (a) of the figure.
