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

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To charge a metal sphere positively without touching it, we can use the method of induction. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Set Up the Metal Sphere - Place the metal sphere on an insulated stand to prevent any charge from escaping to the ground. This ensures that the sphere can hold any induced charge. ### Step 2: Bring a Negatively Charged Rod Close - Take a negatively charged rod and bring it close to the metal sphere without touching it. The presence of the negatively charged rod will influence the charges within the metal sphere. ...
