Question

13.) X and Y are two initially uncharged metal spheres on insulating stands, and they are in contact with each other. A negatively charged rod R is brought close to X as shown in part (a) of the figure. Sphere 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 positive and Y is negative

B) Both X and Y are negative

C) Both X and Y are positive

D) X is negative and Y is positive

E) Both X and Y are neutral

Explanation / Answer

by the induction process a negetive charge electrons repelled the negetive charge rod in conductor they are free to move about the surface of the conductor subsequently there is a mass migration of electrons from sphere A TO B this cause system to be polarized once the system is polarized sphere y is physically seperated by sphere Xusing insulating stand. the posive charge sphere X remains near to the the negetively charged rod and the negetively charged sphereY moved away to the negetively charged rod

THEREFORE X IS POSITIVE AND Y IS NEGETIVE
