Figure 18.47 shows the electric field lines near two charges q j and g2. What is the ratio of their magnitudes? (b) Sketch the electric field lines a long distance from the charges shown in the figure.
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 sticks to the wall. Imagine now that we have two infinitely large, flat sheets of insulating material. One is charged, and the other is neutral. If these sheets are brought into contact, does an attractive force exist between them as there was for the balloon and the wall?
Figure 18.44 shows an electric field extending over three regions, labeled I, II, and III. Answer the fallowing questions, (a) Are there any isolated charges? If so, in what region and what are their signs? (b) Where is the field strongest? (c) Where is it weakest? (d) Where is the field the most uniform?
Review. A molecule of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is 2.17m long. The ends of the molecule become singly ionized: negative on one end, positive on the other. The helical molecule acts like a spring and compresses 1.00% upon becoming charged. Determine the effective spring constant of the molecule.

When a glass rod is lubbed with silk, it becomes positive and the silk becomes negative—yet both attract dust. Does the dust have a third type of charge that is attracted to both positive and negative? Fxplain
If a negatively charged particle is placed at point B in Figure 16.3 and given a very small kick to the right, what will its subsequent motion be? Will it (a) go to the right and not return, (b) go to the left, (c) remain at point B, or (d) oscillate around point B?
When wool is rubbed against amber, the wool becomes positively charged and the amber becomes negatively charged. If you rub a glass rod with a silk cloth and an amber rod with a wool cloth, are the rods attracted to or repelled by each other? Are the cloths attracted to or repelled by each other? Is the silk cloth attracted to the amber rod or repelled by the amber rod? Is the wool cloth attracted to the glass rod or repelled by the glass rod? Explain your answers.
How would you determine whether the charge on a particular rod is positive or negative?
