II. Superposition A. Obtain a small pith ball attached to an insulating string. Tape the free end of the string to a wooden dowel and hold the dowel horizontal. Rub the charged rod on the suspended ball so that the ball acquires enough charge. (A brief touch usually doesn't produce a large enough effect.) Observe the behavior of the ball after it touches the rod. Is the pith ball charged? If it is, then does the ball have the same charge or opposite charge as the rod? Explain how you can tell.

There are very large numbers of charged particles in most objects. Why, then, don't most objects exhibit static electricity?
A common demonstration involves charging a rubber balloon, which is an insulator, by rubbing it on your hair and then touching the balloon to a ceiling or wall, which is also an insulator. Because of the electrical attraction between the charged balloon and the neutral wall, the balloon slicks to the wall. Imagine now that we have two infinitely large, Hat sheets of insulating material. One is charged, and the other is neutral, lf these sheets are brought into contact, does an attractive force exist between them as there was for the balloon and the wall?
