Question

Monday Homework Problem 1.5 The dielectric plate of an electrophorus is charged by rubbing with an insulating material. The neutral conducting plate of the electrophorus is then held by its insulating handle and placed on the charged dielectric. The metal plate remains neutral through this process. Select the choice that follows that best describes the distribution of charge on the conducting plate of the electrophorus as it sits on the charged dielectric plate Select One of the Following (a) There is no net density charge anywhere on the electrophorus. (b) There is a uniform surface charge on the electrophorus with the same sign as the charge of the dielectric plate. the dielectric plate plate in contact with the dielectric, and a surface charge with the same sign as that of the dielectric on the (c) There is a uniform volume charge spread throughout the electrophorus with the same sign as the charge of (d) There is a surface charge opposite the sign of the charge of the dielectric plate on the side of the conducting other side. (e) There is a uniform surface charge on the electrophorus with the opposite sign as the charge of the dielectric plate.
