Question

Two identical conductors of copper and aluminium

Answer 1

Answer:

Two identical conductors of copper and aluminium are placed in an identical electric fields. The magnitude of induced charge in the aluminium will be. Since both are metals so equal amount of charge will induce on them.

Answer 2

Maybe this is the question you are looking for :

Two identical conductors of copper and aluminium are placed in an identical electric field. The magnitude of induced charge in the aluminium will be :

(i) Zero

(ii) Equal to copper

(iii) Greater than in copper

(iv) Less than in copper

The correct answer would be

(ii) Equal to copper

The magnitude of induced charge in the aluminium will be equal to copper.

• As electric field in the external of the metals induce transformation on the objects of metal, which later cancels the internal field.

• The electrons present in both aluminium and copper move with the impact of external field till they reach metal surface before settling there.

• As both aluminium and copper are metals, the field applied is same in both of the scenario so the induced charges remain same.
