Induced charge q can never be greater than inducing charge Q. Why ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When a charged rod (inducing body) is held near one end, but the flow of electron ceases after some-time (though there is an almost inexhaustible supply of electrons in the metal sphere) because induced electrons repel movement of fresh electrons getting induced.

An isolated coductor, initially free from charge, is charge by repeated conacts with a plate, which afrer each contact has a charge Q due to some mechanism.If q is the charge on the conductor after the first operation, prove that the maximum charge that can be give to the conductor in this way is Qq//Q-q .
