Using the proof plane and the rubber rod, charge the electroscope fully, by the method discussed above. Now, charge the glass rod by rubbing it with the silky cloth. Bring the glass rod close (but not too close) to the electroscope knob. (If it comes too close, a spark may jump and the movable leaf will be nothing but gold shrapnel.) You should see the electroscope leaf collapse slightly as the glass rod is brought near. If this does not work, you may have too much negative charge on the electroscope. Scoop some off using the proof piane and deposit it on the ground fixture. (a) Explain how the extra electrons on the electroscope move as the positively charged glass rod comes close, and why. Notice the net charge on the combination of electroscope leaves plus knob does not change, since no charge transfers to or from the glass rod.

The figure below shows four small spheres, each with a positive charge, at the corners of a square. The length of each side of the square is a. The sphere at top-right has a charge of q; the one at lower-left has a charge of 7.0g, the other two each have a charge of 2.5g. (Assume that the +x-axis is to the right and the +y-axis is up along the page.) 2.59 7.0g 2.5g (a) What is the magnitude of the force on the sphere with charge q? Express your answer in terms of ke. q, and a in symbolic form. F = (b) What is the direction of the force on the sphere with charge q? (Enter your answer in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis.) 1 counterclockwise from the +x-axis
Two identical metallic blocks resting on a frictionless horizontal surface are connected by a light metallic spring having the spring constant 160N/m and an un- stretched length of 0.32m as shown. A total charge of Q is slowly placed on the system, causing the spring to stretch to an equilibrium length of 0.43m as shown. Determine the value of Q, assuming that all the charge resides on the blocks and modelling the blocks as point charges. State your answer in mC to nearest 0.01 mC. Take electric constant ke to be 8.99x10° Nm2/c² Hwwwww (a) (b)
In the "Induce the Can” demonstration the metal can was attracted to the statically charged object. This is because the can was also statically charged. O True O False
I have a piece of PVC that keeps attracting particles to it like dust, hair, etc. (seemingly to be statically charged to the PVC). Please explain the process of why it is happening and provide sources for the information used to answer the question.
When you rub a glass rod with silk you electrically charge the glass rod (and the silk). Likewise, when you rub a plastic rod with fur you electrically charge the plastic rod (and the fur). However, when you place the charged rods near each other you notice that they attract. What can you conclude about the sign of the charge on each? Can you determine just from this experiment the sign of the charge on each rod? Yes, they have equal charges, either positive or negative. Yes, the have opposite charges, the glass rod is negative and the plastic rod is positive. Yes, the have opposite charges, the plastic rod is negative and the glass rod is positive. If the two rods attract each other, then we can conclude that they have opposite charges. However, we cannot conclude from this experiment alone which one is negative and which one is positive. SInce the two rods attract each other they must have like charges, because like charges attract.…
The pictures show a rod made of leather, a swatch of polystyrene, and an insulated ball of aluminum, all initially uncharged. The rod is dragged across the polystyrene in order to transfer some charge. Label the signs of the electric charge on the leather and the polystyrene. Once the rod is charged, it is placed near the aluminum ball without making contact. Label the rod and the near and far sides of the aluminum ball with the signs of their electric charges.
