A positively charged ball is brought close to a neutral conducting isolated sphere. The isolated sphere is grounded for an instant and then the ground connection is removed.Consider the followingstatements . STATEMENT-1 : The sphere will acquire a negative charge after this process. and STATEMENT-2 : If the sphere is kept grounded and positively charged ball is moved away, the sphere will again become neutral.

Two identical conduction spheres, one having an initial charge +Q and the other initially uncharged, are brought into contact. (a) What is the new charge on each sphere? (b) While the spheres are in contact, a positively chaged rod is moved close to one sphere, causing a redistribution of hte charges on the two spheres so the charge on hte sphere closest to the rod has a charge-Q. What is the charge to the other sphere?

When a negative charged rod is brought near, but does not touch, the initially unchanged electroscope shown below, the leaves spring apart (I) .
