Step 1
A negatively charged rod is brought near a metal sphere. Metal spheres are conductors, meaning charges can move freely within them. The other side of the sphere is earthed, which means it is connected to the ground, allowing charges to flow to or from the ground. Show more…

A small, uncharged metal sphere is placed near a larger, negatively charged sphere. Which diagram best represents the charge distribution on the smaller sphere?(A) (B) (C) (D)
Two identically-sized metal spheres, A and B, are on insulating stands, as shown in the diagram below. Sphere A possesses an excess of 6.3 Ă— 10^10 electrons and sphere B is neutral. Insulating stands Which diagram best represents the charge distribution on sphere B when sphere A is brought near?
