Correct
Since the electrons are the mobile charge carriers, they are transferred in this case from the fur to the slab. As a result, the fur will have fewer electrons than it began with, thus leaving it positively charged.

After the slab is charged, and the electrophorus is placed on the slab, the student briefly touches the electrophorus, effectively grounding it. After that, the electrophorus appears to be charged. By what method is it charged?

Correct
Charging by induction means that a charged object (the slab) causes the other one (the electrophorus) to become charged by influencing (inducing) the process of charge transfer; however, little or almost no charge transfer occurs directly between the charging object and the object being charged.
What, exactly, is happening in this particular case?

Correct
The negatively charged slab is pushing the “free” electrons in the conducting electrophorus away. Before the electrophorus is grounded, there is no escape path for those electrons. Therefore, the electrophorus is polarized; that is, its top surface is negative, and the bottom one, the one nearest the slab, is positive. However, the electrophorus remains neutral until the hand provides a conducting path that allows some electrons escape from the electrophorus, rendering it positive.

Correct
The electrophorus becomes less positive once it pulls some electrons away from the red sphere. However, the electrophorus is replaced on the slab and recharged by grounding it before it proceeds to charge the grey sphere. This ensures that both spheres initially have about the same amount of charge.
Since the red sphere is suspended on an insulating handle, and no other objects toch it, we cna assume that its charge remains constant throughout the experiment. However, this is not the case for the gray sphere.

Note that, after each touch of the spheres, the handheld one is briefly touched by hand—that is, neutralized—through grounding. That means that each subsequent touch would remove half of the charge from the bottom sphere.
Part H

We will now try to determine how the magnitude of the Coulomb force between the spheres depends on the charge of the bottom sphere. Now that we understand that the charge of the bottom sphere is halved after each touch, create a graph “force vs. charge of the bottom sphere” using +q+q, +q/2+q/2, +q/4+q/4, etc. as the charge values. What is the most reasonable conclusion that can be made from the graph about the magnitude of the Coulomb force?

It seems reasonable to assume that the magnitude of the force would be also directly proportional to the charge of the top sphere—in other words, directly proportional to the product of the charges of the spheres! (Recall that the magnitude of the force of gravity between two spherical masses is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the spheres.)
Now, let's do one last exercise to make sure you are comfortable with this idea.
Part I
Part complete
Let us suppose the magnitude of the original Coulomb force between the two charged spheres is FF. In this scenario, a third sphere touches the grey sphere and the red sphere multiple times, being grounded each touch. If the grey sphere is touched twice, and the red sphere is touched three times, what is the magnitude of the Coulomb force between the spheres now?

In 1963, Maarten Schmidt of the California Institute of
Technology found the most distant object that had ever been seen in
the universe so far. Called 3C273, it emitted electromagnetic
radiation with a power of 2×1013 Suns, or 100 times that of the
entire Milky Way galaxy! Schmidt called 3C273 a "Quasi-Stellar
Radio Source," a name that was soon shortened to "quasar." Since
then, astronomers have found many quasars, some substantially more
powerful and distant than 3C273. Quasar 3C273 is moving away from
Earth at about speed 0.16c. The Sun is 1.5×1011mfrom Earth and
emits energy at a rate of 3.8×1026J/s caused by the conversion of
4.3×109kg/s of mass into light and other forms of electromagnetic
energy. The Hubble constant is
H=70.8km/sMpc=70.8103m/s3.09×1022m==22.9×10−19s−1
Estimate the mass of 3C273 that is converted to light and other forms of radiation each minute. By comparison, the mass of Earth is 6×1024kg.

2. The Cahora Bassa dam, located in Mozambique, is the highest dam in Africa. The hydroelectric facility within the dam generates an average 1,925 MWe. Nearly all of this electricity is exported to South Africa. The power station is linked to Pretoria, 1,420 km away, by a 533.0 kV high-voltage DC (HVDC) transmission line. a. The transmission line consists of eight cables made of aluminum with a steel core for strength and structural support. The total cross-sectional diameter of each cable is 28 mm, while the cross-sectional diameter of the steel core is 14 mm (consider the cross-sectional area as a steel circle in the middle of an an aluminum circle). Treat each cable as if it consisted of one steel and one aluminum resistor arranged in parallel, while the cables themselves are arranged in parallel with each other. What is the total resistance of the transmission line? Material resistivities:
ρ_steel=7.2〖*10〗^(-7) Ω•m
ρ_alum=2.7*10^(-8) Ω•m.

b. On average, how much current flows through the transmission lines? What is the power loss in the line? What is the percentage of power loss relative to the average power generated? (10 points)
c. If the power were transmitted at 333.0 kV over the same cables, what would the power loss percentage be? (10 points)
d. If the dam’s power is sold wholesale to South Africa for US$90.00/MWh, how much revenue would be lost per year, transmitting at 333.0 kV instead of 533.0 kV? (note: the 1,920 MW average production already accounts for the dam’s capacity factor) (5 points)
e. Say you are interested in doing a life cycle assessment to estimate the amount of energy used to build the Cahora Bassa power system, from dam to end user (not the amount energy produced by the system itself).

List ten energy-consuming materials or processes that would be used as inputs in a life-cycle assessment of the construction of this system. (10 points)
