Grade 12Electric Current
Figure shows a positively charged rod is brought near two
uncharged metal spheres A and B clamped on insulating stands
and placed in contact with each other. (The rod is not touched to
any of the spheres).
i. What would happen if the rod is removed before the spheres
are separated?
ii. Would the induced charges be equal in magnitude even if the
spheres had different sizes or different conductors?
iii. What will happen if the spheres are separated first and then
the rod is removed far away? how to solve this problem?
