Question

Five Styrofoam balls are suspended from insulating threads.  Several experiments are performed on the balls, and the following observations are made:

I. Ball A attracts Ball B while repels Ball C.

II. Ball D attracts Ball B but has no effect on Ball E.

III. A negatively charged rod attracts both Ball A and Ball E. 

 

What will be the charges of the balls?

 

A.A is +; B is -; C is +; D is 0; E is +

B.A is +; B is -; C is +; D is +; E is 0

C.A is +; B is -; C is +; D is 0; E is 0

D.A is +; B is 0; C is -; D is +; E is 0
