Question
Chapter 16, Problem 12Q
To determine
Why piece of paper jumps quickly away after touching a charged ruler.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 12Q
Solution:
The piece of paper jumps quickly away since it repels the charged ruler.
Explanation of Solution
When piece of paper touches the charged ruler, it becomes charged with the same kind of charges. So, the piece of paper jumps quickly away due to the repulsive force between the charged ruler and the charged piece of paper.
