Zero
5. Positive
Negative correct
Explanation:
When the negatively charged rod moves
close to the sphere X, the negatively charged
electrons will be pushed to sphere Y. If X and
Y are separated before the rod moves away,
those charges will remain on X and Y, so
X is positively charged and Y is negatively
charged.

Explanation:
When the ball with negative charge is
brought nearby, the free charges inside X and
Y rearrange themselves. The positive charges
are attracted and go to the right (i.e., move to
Y), leaving negative charges on the left hand
side of the system X Y, i.e., in X.
When we ground X, electrons flow from the
ground to X (making it neutral), whereas the
positive charges in Y are still held enthralled
by the negative charge on the third ball. We
break the ground.
Now we remove the third ball with negative
charge. The charge on Y is redistributed in
the system X Y; i.e., they share the positive
charge (equally if identical).
Finally we separate X and Y. The signs
of the charge on X and that on Y are both
positive.
Force Between Electrons
010 10.0 points
Two electrons in an atom are separated by
1.3 1010 m, the typical size of an atom.
What is the force between them? The
Coulomb constant is 9 109 N m2 /C2 .
Correct answer: 1.36672 108 N.
Explanation:
Let :
9 109 N m2 /C2
1.3 1010 m2
(1.602 1019 C)2
= 1.36672 108 N .
