Question

Charging a metallic object by induction (that in, the two objects never touch each other) (a) A neutral metallc sphere, with equal numbers of postive and negative chages () The electrons on the neutral sphere are redistruted when a charged rubber rod (c) When the sphere is grounded, some of is placed near the sphere electrons leave through the ground wive (d) When the ground connection is removed, the sphere has(e) When the rod is removed, the remaining electrons redistr@ute uniformly and excess positive charge that is onuniformily distributed there is net undorm ribution of positive charge on the sphere. Study the Soure above and the accompanying text discussion of charging by induction When the grounding wire is touched to the rightmest point on the sphere in Figure (c), electrons are drained away from the sphere to leave the sphere postively charged. Suppose the grounding wire is touched to the letmost point on the sphere instead. witl olectrons still rain away, moving closer to the negatively charged rod as they do so? What kind of charge, i any, remains on the sphere? Yes, the sphere will have positive charg Yes; the sphere will have negative charge O No, the sphere will have negative charge O No the sphere will have positive charge O Yes; the sphere ลดเ have no charge * No, the sphere wil have no charge

Answer 1

At it is given in the question, sphere is metallic. So its surface will delays be at equipotential. So to matter from where you will ground the sphere (Right of left anywhere) electron will go to ground which will leave sphere at positively charged.
