Study Figure 23.3 and the accompanying text discussion of charging by induction. When the grounding wire is touched to the rightmost point on the sphere in Figure 23.3c, electrons are drained away from the sphere to leave the sphere positively charged. Suppose the grounding wire is touched to the leftmost point on the sphere instead. (a) Will electrons still drain away, moving closer to the negatively charged rod as they do so? (b) What kind of charge, if any, remains on the sphere?

I've tried solving this a few times and just can't figure it out. Please help. A +50 μC point charge is placed 50 cm from an identical +50 μC charge. How much work would be required for an external force to move a +0.70 μC test charge from a point midway between them to a point 10 cm closer to either of the charges? Express your answer using two significant figures.
