How can you charge a metal sphere negatively without touching it?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To charge a metal sphere negatively without touching it, we can use the process of charging by induction. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Prepare the Metal Sphere Start with a neutral metal sphere. This means it has an equal number of positive and negative charges. ### Step 2: Connect the Sphere to the Ground Connect the metal sphere to the ground using a conducting wire. This allows electrons to move between the sphere and the ground. ...
