Question

Question 1)

A) Draw the expected distribution of the top and bottom charges for both pieces of aluminum foil for: 1. foils touching each other and pvc pipe nearby and foils separated and 2. pvc pipe moved away

B) Draw the expected distribution of the top and bottom charges for both pieces of aluminum foil for: 1. before the charged pvc has been moved away and 2. after the charged pic has been moved away

C) Describe the final charge distributions above in words and explain why these two scenarios should result in these distributions.

Please answer the whole question! Thank you so much!!

Answer 1

(A) (1)When bring the PVC pipe then due to induction on near part of the foil charge redistribution takes place and opposite charge appears as shown in figure

(B) when we moved away the pipe the charge distribution and seperated the foils is shown in the figure
(C) When we moved in the pipe it redistribute the charges and attract the opposite charges to one end.
Therefore -ve charge will come at one end and +ve charge will collected at the other end which induced the charge distribution in other foil and collect the -ve charges at one and +ve charges at other end.
As we move away the rod , the opposite charge at mid cancel each other hence the ball becomes +vely and -vely charges as shown in fig 2 of A part .
