Consider a metal sphere connected to one end of the battery and the other end of the battery to be connected to the ground. Does the metal sphere become electrically charged with this method?
Thank you! I was off in the weeds for a few moments...vanhees71 said:...in Gaussian units.
So why do they use Van de Graaff to get charged in the laboratory when this method is simpler and less expensive.Meir Achuz said:This sphere will be charged to the extent Q=VR.

The battery voltage can be increased enough to match the voltage produced by the van devGraaffberkeman said:What is the difference in voltage for a Van de Graaff generator versus a battery?
Even a small Van de Graaff generator produces 50,000 volts or more. What kind of practical battery bank are you proposing to achieve that voltage?abdossamad2003 said:The battery voltage can be increased enough to match the voltage produced by the van devGraaff
Yes, a Van de Graaff generator can be used to charge a metal sphere. The generator creates a high voltage difference between the sphere and the ground, causing the sphere to acquire a net positive charge.
Yes, a metal sphere can be charged using induction. By bringing a charged object near the sphere, the charges within the sphere will rearrange, resulting in a net charge on the sphere.
Yes, a metal sphere can be charged by rubbing it with a cloth. This process transfers electrons from the cloth to the sphere, resulting in a net charge on the sphere.
Yes, connecting a metal sphere to a battery can charge it. The battery creates a potential difference between the sphere and the battery terminal, causing charge to flow into the sphere.
Yes, a Tesla coil can be used to charge a metal sphere. The high voltage produced by the Tesla coil can induce a charge on the sphere, causing it to become charged.
