Question

Consider two identical conducting spheres placed on

identical non conductive mounts. Initially both spheres

haveno net charge. Sphere #2 is then connected to a +1000

voltsource, acquiring a positive net charge. Sphere #1 is

placed near sphere #2 (without touching it). What is the

charge at points a, b and c? Explain why?

Consider two identical conducting spheres placed on identical non conductive mounts. Initially both spheres haveno net charge. Sphere #2 is then connected to a +1000 voltsource, acquiring a positive net charge. Sphere #1 is placed near sphere #2 (without touching it). What is the charge at points a, b and c? Explain why?

Explanation / Answer

#2 has a positive charge, it will attract negative charge on #1, soa will be negative charged, c positive and b may be no charge.
