An insulated conductor initiallly free from charge is charged by repeated contacts with a plate which after each contact is replenished to a charge Q . If q is the charge on the conductor after first operation prove that the maximum charge which can be given to the conductor in this way is (Qq)/(Q-q)

The +q charge can be neutralised by
