A neutral conducting sphere is suspended from a thin insulating thread (don't ignore gravity in this problem). A charged insulating rod is brought near the sphere, but the rod and sphere do not touch. How will the sphere react to the presence of the rod?
The sphere will deflect away from the rod. |
|
The sphere will not deflect at all. |
|
The sphere will deflect toward the rod. |
|
Not enough information is given. |
Answer :- The given situation in problem is based on charging an onject by using induction method...
For given information ,
The sphere will not deflect at all .
Thus option b is correct..
If you are interested to know about induction method of charging an onject, read the following article...according to induction method of charging an onject, once uncharged object becomes charged,then it will deflect towards the second charged body.
Any more doubts leave a comment... THANKS
