Two neutral metal spheres on wood stands are touching. a negatively charged rod is held directly above the top of the left sphere, not quite touching it. while the rod is there, the right sphere is moved so that the spheres no longer touch. then the rod is withdrawn. which answer is correct?

a) both the spheres are neutral.
b) left sphere is negatively charged, another is charged positively.
c) right sphere is negatively charged, another is charged positively.
d) both the spheres are charged positively.
e) both the spheres are charged negatively

Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

As we know that metals are able to conduct electricity so, when a negatively charges rod is kept closer to the left sphere then electrons will enter the sphere.

Since, like charges repel each other. Hence, some of the negative changes from the rod will repel the negative charges of left sphere.

As both left and right spheres are touching each other so, the electrons will move towards the right sphere. As a result, there will be too many electrons (negative charge) present on the right sphere and very less electrons present in the left sphere.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement right sphere is negatively charged, another is charged positively, is true.

most voltage drop calculators want the distance between the source and destination. then internally, they double it so both the source and return wires are calculated. but you need to know which distance the calculator uses so you're not half of what you should be or double what you should be.

most circuit breakers will not take a #6 directly, so the electrician will have to splice on a smaller pigtail. you also have to upsize the grounding wire when you upsized the ungrounded (hot) wire (see note in 250.122). this will preclude using most cable assemblies, as a cable with #6 copper will most likely only have a #10 grounding conductor. you need a #6 grounding conductor if the circuit is 20a. a #8 cable is no better, as it will have a #10 grounding conductor too. but most 20a breakers will take a #8 directly.

in your related post, you didn't say what type of load this is. if it is a light or heater, voltage drop won't be a big issue. if this is a motor, the current needs are huge at startup and the voltage drop can pose a problem. if this is a motor, knowing if the motor is under much load during startup will answer the voltage drop effect (a saw is easier to start than a compressor).

the answer is a 3.8cm
