Faraday's Displacement Flux Experiment:
Hi,
I am having trouble understanding the experiment.

http://books.google.com.tr/books?id=r_rDg_E97MEC&pg=SA16-PA10&lpg=SA16-PA10&dq=displacement+flux+experiment&source=bl&ots=fWpfEu2G5f&sig=aNaYtkIfPmRo1CInc3-9noFQxkY&hl=tr&sa=X&ei=gX7nUeD4BJCMswbx1oCgAQ&ved=0CDkQ6AEwAw

Summary:
1) Inner sphere is charged with +Q
2) Outer sphere is grounded.
3) Charged of the outer sphere is found to be -Q.
4) Conclusion: displacement flux makes outer sphere charged with -Q.

I don't understand the grounding step and conclusion.
Can anybody explain the expremient more clearly?
Thank you...

Reason of the induceed charge -Q on the outer sphere?
