Question 21
Easy

Two small insulated spheres, X and Y, are each given an electrostatic charge.

Figure 1 represents the electric fields around sphere X and sphere Y.

Figure 1: Electric field diagrams. Sphere X is surrounded by 6 evenly spaced radial electric field lines with arrows pointing inwards towards the center of the sphere. Sphere Y is surrounded by 16 evenly spaced radial electric field lines with arrows pointing outwards away from the center of the sphere.

Use the information in Figure 1 to give two differences between the charge on sphere X and the charge on sphere Y.
