Interaction with an Uncharged Conductor

A small, positively charged sphere is brought near an insulated, electrically neutral conductor.

  1. Does the sphere experience an attractive or repulsive force?
  2. What happens if the end of the conductor closer to the sphere is momentarily grounded?
  3. Instead of grounding, what happens if the conductor and sphere briefly touch?

Electrostatic Induction on Metal Blocks

Three identical, contacting metal blocks are placed on a plastic table. Two objects with a large positive charge are placed at the two ends of this row of metal blocks, close but not touching. Then, an uncharged insulating rod is used to separate the three metal blocks. After that, the positively charged objects are removed.

What kind of charge does each metal block carry?
