Answer:
a. The spheres will attract each other.
Explanation:
When two conducting spheres are connected by a conducting wire and a negatively charged rod is brought near it then this will induce opposite (positive) charge at the nearest point on the sphere and by the conservation of charges there will also be equal amount of negative charge on the farthest end of this conducting system this is called induced polarization.
- When the conducting wire which joins them is cut while the charged rod is still in proximity to of one of the metallic sphere then there will be physical separation of the two equal and unlike charges on the spheres which will not get any path to flow back and neutralize.
- Hence the two spheres will experience some amount of electrostatic force between them.
Answer:
The intensity of the electric field is

Explanation:
The electric field equation is given by:

Where:
- k is the Coulomb constant
- q is the charge at 0.4100 m from the balloon
- d is the distance from the charge to the balloon
As we need to find the electric field at the location of the balloon, we just need the charge equal to 1.99*10⁻⁷ C.
Then, let's use the equation written above.

C and d are the right answers
Physical changes: melting, evaporating, and condensation. This is a physical change.
