Question

“Introduction of a small charged sphere into a larger one allows us to keep piling up a larger and larger amount of charge on the latter” – This is the principle of the:

• A. Tangent Galvanometer
• B. AC Generator
• C. Van de Graff generator
• D. Envelope detector

Hint:

The Van de Graff generator is capable of creating high voltages by accumulating large amounts of charge on a conducting sphere.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The principle mentioned in the question refers to the ability of a Van de Graff generator to accumulate large amounts of charge on a conducting sphere. This device uses the concept of continuous charge transfer and electrostatic induction to accumulate and store high-voltage electric charge. Thus, the principle described corresponds to the Van de Graff generator, which operates by continuously transferring charge onto a large conducting sphere. 
Final Answer: Van de Graff generator
