Understanding Potential Between L & K Conductors

AI Thread Summary
L and K are two conductor tables, with L grounded and having a potential of zero. When a charged object is connected to K, it creates a force that pulls L and K towards each other, affecting their balance. The discussion centers on determining the charge on L when K has a charge Q. There is uncertainty about whether the charge on L is also Q, and participants are seeking proof or clarification on this point. The conversation highlights the relationship between the charges on the conductors and the implications for their balance.

L and K are two conductor tables, L is grounded (his potential is zero). In this situation the scales are balanced. To measure the charged object's potential, it is being connected to K with thin long conduct wire. just L and K are conductors. when the object is connected to K, L and K are pulling one to each other. In order to save the balance, there are mass in N.
lets say K has charge Q. I want to know what charge is there on L and Why.

I think it is also Q but i cannot prove it...

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
