Four very large metal plates are given charges as shown in figure. The middle two are then connected through a wire. Find the charge that will flow through the wire.

A

`5Q from A to B `

B

`5Q//2 from A to B`

C

`5Q from B to A`

D

no charge will flow

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

a. Distrinution of charge before the wire is connected is shown in figure.
On connecting with the wire, `5Q and -5Q` will get neutralized. ltbrlt Hence, 5Q charge will flow from A to B.
