AP Physics C: E&M
10.2 Redistribution of Charge between Conductors
10.1 Electrostatics with Conductors
A solid conducting sphere initially carries a net positive charge \(+Q\) and sits isolated in space. The sphere is then connected to Earth, which acts as a ground at zero electric potential, by a thin wire until electrostatic equilibrium is reestablished. Which choice correctly identifies the direction of electron flow through the wire and the direction of conventional current?
