Question
A positively charged object is held near a grounded conductor as shown. This will
make the grounded conductor:
O neutral, because all grounded objects are always neutral
negatively charged, because the positive object attracts extra electrons up from the
ground
It is impossible to know, as it depends on whether the object on the left is a conductor
or insulator
positively charged, as some of the positve charges will jump to the grounded
conductor
