Question

Initially, metal sphere X is charged to an electric potential of 10,000 volts, with a total charge on its surface of +Q. Metal spheres Y and Z are initially uncharged. Spheres Y and Z are the same size as sphere X. All three spheres are held by insulated stands. Sphere X is connected by a conducting wire to sphere Y. The wire is then removed and used to connect sphere Y and Z. After the wire is again removed, what is the potential on sphere Z? 10,000 V 5,000 V 2,500 V 1,250 V 0 What is the charge on sphere Z after the procedure described in problem 6? +Q + 1/2 Q + 1/4 Q + 1/3 Q -Q

Explanation / Answer

6) 2,500 = option C 7) c) +Q/4
