2. A positively charged rod is brought close to (but not touched) a neutral pith ball hanging by a thread. The pith ball a. becomes negatively charged b. is repelled by the rod c. becomes positively charged d. is attracted to the rod e. remains hanging by a thread motionless and unaffected by the rod
This problem explores the behavior of charge on realistic (i.e. non-ideal) insulators. We take as an example a long insulating rod suspended by insulating wires. Assume that the rod is initially electrically neutral. For convenience, we will refer to the left end of the rod as end A, and the right end of the rod as end B. In the answer options for this problem, "weakly attracted/repelled" means "attracted/repelled with a force of magnitude similar to that which would exist...
What is meant when you say that two objects have like charges How do we tell that objects "like charges" How do we make objects with like charges Two objects are observed attract What do we know and what do we NOT know about them Your are given a piece of material. Propose an experiment or a series of experiments to determine if the material is a conductor or an insulator. State clearly what the outcome of each experiment will...
Attemptsr Question 1 Balls 1, 2, 3, and 4 are hanging by strings. A plastic rod, which has been rubbed with wool, is used to touch Ball 1 1. When the balls are brought near each other, but not touching, the Ball 2 is attracted to ball 3 Balls 2 and 4 do not affect one another Balls 2, 3, and 4 are attracted to ball 1 What is ball I's charge state?
