Question

X and Y are 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 he figure. Sphere Y is now moved away from X, as shown in part(b). What are the final charge states of X and Y?

2) X and Y are two initially uncharged metal spheres on insulating stands, and they ave in comtact th each other. A positively charged rod R is brought cdose to X as'shown in part (a) of the iare. ere Y is now moved away from X, as shown in part (b).What are the final charge states of X and Y? A) X is negative and Y is positive. B) Both X and Y are neutral. C) Both X and Y are negative. D) X is positive and Y is neutral. E) X is neutral and Y is positive 3) A small charged plastic ball is vertically above another charged small ball in a frictionless test tube houn in the figure. The balls are in equilibrium a distance d apart. If the charge on esch ball is tho tost tuhe would become

Explanation / Answer

As there occurs induction pocess, the sphere x becomes negative and the sphere y becomes positive.

When they are separated the charge on X will be negative and on Y will be positive

Hence option (a) is correct.
