Conductors and Capacitors
Two conductors of different sizes are brought into contact. Which quantity must be the same for both conductors once they are in electrostatic equilibrium?
When two conducting spheres with different radii are connected by a conducting wire, and a net charge is present on the two-sphere system, which of the following is true?
Three irregularly shaped conductors are brought into contact until electrostatic equilibrium is reached. Which statement best describes the charge distribution?
What is the electric potential of a conductor connected to ground?
A positively charged conductor is connected to ground. What occurs?
A complex circuit contains several capacitors and a switch that, when closed, connects a point in the circuit to ground. Before the switch is closed, that point has a non-zero potential. After the switch is closed, what happens to the charge distribution in the circuit?
A neutral, grounded conductor is brought near a positively charged object. What is the polarity of the induced charge on the side of the conductor closest to the charged object?
