प्रश्न
When a glass rod is rubbed with a silk cloth, charges appear on both. A similar phenomenon is observed with many other pairs of bodies. Explain how this observation is consistent with the law of conservation of charge.
उत्तर
The phenomenon of charging by friction is in complete harmony with the law of conservation of charge. When two neutral objects are rubbed in such a phenomenon, both objects get charged. Before friction, both objects are neutral, that is, their total charge is zero. In all such observations, it has always been found that as much positive charge comes on one object, the same negative charge comes on the other object. Thus, even after charging by friction, the net charge of both objects remains zero.

Two fixed, identical conducting plates (α and β), each of surface area S are charged to –Q and q, respectively, where Q > q > 0. A third identical plate (γ), free to move is located on the other side of the plate with charge q at a distance d (Figure). The third plate is released and collides with the plate β. Assume the collision is elastic and the time of collision is sufficient to redistribute charge amongst β and γ.
- Find the electric field acting on the plate γ before collision.
- Find the charges on β and γ after the collision.
- Find the velocity of the plate γ after the collision and at a distance d from the plate β.
