Asked by Sarah

for Induction, how can you charge two neutral spheres?

a
You bring a neutral item close to a neutral sphere to make it negative.
b
You bring a negatively charged bar close to two neutral conductive spheres and the negative charge will be brought near the bar.
c
You bring a charged object, close to two neutral conductive spheres that are touching, to charge them both oppositely.
d
You bring a positively charged bar close to two neutral conductive spheres and the positive charge will be brought near the bar.

Answer: c.

Explanation: With induction you bring a charged object near two touching conductive spheres to induce charge separation (one side becomes opposite the near charge, the other becomes like the near charge). While the inducing object is still in place you separate the spheres (break the contact). When you remove the inducing object the spheres remain with opposite net charges. Options a, b and d are incorrect (a uses a neutral object so no induction; b and d describe the wrong sign movement of charge).
