Q 2364080855

A neutral (uncharged) metal ball is suspended using a non-magnetic string. A positively charged insulating rod is placed near the ball which is observed to be attracted to the rod. This is because
NDA Paper 2 2011
(A)

the ball becomes positively charged by induction

(B)

the ball becomes negatively charged by induction

(C)

there is a rearrangement of the electrons in the ball

(D)

the number of electrons in the ball is more than the number of electrons on the rod

Solution:

According to the induction principle, when we placed a positively charged rod near the ball, then the negative charge will increase in the ball to the front of the rod and the positive charge will increase in the back of the ball (far from the rod). By this, rearrangement of electrons takes place.

magnetic field, the magnitude as well as direction of the strength
of magnetic field remains the same throughout the region.
Uniform rnagnetic field is represented by an equidistant set of
parallel lines.
