Two conducting spheres rest on insulating stands. Sphere B is smaller than Sphere A. Both spheres are initially uncharged and they are touching. A third conducting sphere, C, has a positive charge. It is brought close to (but not touching) Sphere B as shown. What is the net charge (positive, negative, or zero) on Sphere A?

Explanation:

Sphere B and sphere A are touching so they will act as a single body . A positively charged sphere C is brought near sphere B . So there will be induction of charge on sphere B and sphere A . Opposite charge will be induced on nearer sphere and same charge will be induced on distant sphere . Hence sphere B will be negatively charged and sphere A will be positively charged. The amount of charge induced on sphere B and A will be same and it will remain as long as sphere C is kept near sphere B . As soon as sphere C is removed , induced charges will also neutralize each other .

the working equation for the angular size is the product of the physical size and 360 degrees divided by the product of two pi and distance from earth. the minimum size would be 0.559 degrees while the maximum size would be 0.49 degrees. 

bacteria that live on the ocean floor are sustained by phytoplankton. phytoplankton, microscopic marine photosynthetic organisms, have a vastly significant role to play not only in the marine food web of which they’re part of, but also on a more global scale. despite their infinitely small size in comparison to other marine organisms, these tiny creatures occupy an immensely important ecological niche: they are the foundation of the marine food web, and as primary producers, play key roles in supporting all other organisms in the marine environment, as well as in the regulation of the earth’s climate through the sequestration of carbon, oxygen production, and other related processes. phytoplankton account for roughly half of all global primary productivity; therefore, their significance extends far beyond the marine environment alone. there is an intriguing sense of irony in the realization that these tiny living beings that often live out their existence unnoticed and undetected by the rest of the world, have such a far-reaching impact on the lives of virtually all other living organisms on the planet, particularly on those in the marine environment. the world that we have become accustomed to has been and is continuously shaped by the workings of these miniscule yet vital “plants of the sea”.

hope this !
