Consider the following sequence of events: 1. You rub a glass stirring rod with a silk cloth, giving the glass rod a positive charge. 2. Your friend holds an aluminum measuring cup in her bare hand, touching the metal. 3. Your friend puts the aluminum cup down on a rubber mat. 4. You bring the glass rod near the right side of the aluminum cup, but not close enough to touch. 5. While you hold the glass rod near the right side of the aluminum cup, your friend touches the left side of the cup with her finger, then moves her finger away. 6. You move the glass rod away from the cup. Which statements about the process are true? O In step 4, protons flow from the aluminum cup onto the rubber mat. O At the end of step 2 the cup may have been strongly charged. O After step 6, the aluminum cup has a net negative charge.

During a lab experiment, two identical conducting spheres were charged using a rubber rod and a piece of fur. They were hung from strings as shown in this diagram. Based on the information in the diagram, how much electrostatic force occurred between the spheres in the experiment? Q1. Two identical spheres. Both charged with identical methods. The spheres repel each other. The charge on sphere A is 4.1 x 10^6 Coulombs. Sphere B's charge isn't provided for you. Given the info about both spheres, which of these would be a safe assumption for the charge of sphere B? A)Both spheres are identical so sphere B should also have a charge of B)4.1 x 10^6 Coulombs. 4.1 x 10^6 C is already the charge of sphere A, so sphere B will have to have a different charge that hasn't been taken already. C)Sphere B must have a charge of zero (neutral).
