Answer:
If a charged copper rod of 6.4 × 10^-19 charge is brought in contact with an uncharged copper rod. What will be the charge on both after a while?
Answer : The charge on both rod will be charged with the same sign and same magnitude.
Explanation:
Charging by conduction requires contact between two objects.
Take two conductors, one charged and the other uncharged.
Bring the conductors in contact with each other. The charge (whether positive/negative) under its own repulsion will spread over both the conductors. Thus, the conductors will be charged with the same sign & same magnitude. This is called charging by conduction (through contact).
Therefore,
If a charged copper rod of 6.4 × 10^-19 charge is brought in contact with an uncharged copper rod, then charge on both rod will be charged with the same sign and same magnitude.
