A positively charged non-metal ball A is placed near metal ball B. Prove that if the charge on B is positive but of small magnit
ude, the balls will be attracted to each other. a. The positive charges on the sphere B move to the side closer to sphere A, while the negative charges move to the side further away from sphere A. The polarization of charge on A will cause a greater attractive force than the repulsion of the like charges.
b. The negative charges on the sphere A move to the side closer to sphere B, while the positive charges move to the side further away from sphere B. The polarization of charge on A will cause a greater attractive force than the repulsion of the like charges.
c. The positive charges on the sphere B move to the side closer to sphere A, while the negative charges move to the side further away from sphere A. The polarization of charge on B will cause a greater attractive force than the repulsion of the like charges.
d. The negative charges on the sphere B move to the side closer to sphere A, while the positive charges move to the side further away from sphere A. The polarization of charge on B will cause a greater attractive force than the repulsion of the like charges.
Ball A is a non positively charged non metal while ball B is metal ball.
Given: The ball B positive charge of small magnitude
To prove: Balls will attract each other
IN this condition because of induction negative charges on the sphere B move to the side closer to sphere A,(induction charging) while the positive charges move to the side further away from sphere A. The polarization of charge on B will cause a greater attractive force than the repulsion of the like charges.
