A positive point charge q is brought near a neutral metal sphere.

A positively charged body is brought near to bob of an uncharged gold leaf electroscope , then :

Assertion: A positively charged rod is held near a neutral conducting solid sphere as illustrated below. The sphere lies on a insulated stand. The potential of ground (or earth) is zero. The potential at point A (point A need not be centre of the sphere) is higher compared to potential of gound (earth). Reason: In this situation of assertion, the potential at the centre of conducting sphere is positive. the solid sphere being conducting, potential at each point in the sphere is same.

Figure shows that a positively charged rod is brought near two ucharged metal spheres A and B clamped on insulated stands and palced in contact with each other. (i) What would happen if the rod is removed before the spheres are separated? (ii) Would the induced charges be equal in magnitude even if the spheres had different sizes or different conductors? (iii) What will happen if the spheres are separated first and then the rod is removed far away?

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.
