A hollow conductor is positively charged. A small uncharged metal ball is lowered by a silk thread through a small opening in the top of the conductor and allowed to touch its inner surface. After the ball is removed, it will have: O a charge whose sign depends on what part of the inner surface it touched no appreciable charge a positive charge O a negative charge

While walking on a mg, a person frequently becomes charged because of the tubbing between his shoes and the lug. This charge then causes a spark and a slight shock when the person gets close to a metal object. Why are these shocks so much more common on a day?
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.
Common static electricity involves charges ranging from nanocoulombs to microcoulombs. (a) How many electrons are needed to form a charge of 2.00 nC (b) How many electrons must be removed from a neutral object to leave a net charge of 0.500 C ?
Sketch the electric field lines in the vicinity of the charged insulator in Figure 18.51 noting its nonuniform charge distribution. Figure 18.51 A charged insulating rod such as might be used in a classroom demonstration.
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?
Two point charges attract each other with an electric force of magnitude F. If the charge on one of the particles is reduced to one-third its original value and the distance between the particles is doubled, what is the resulting magnitude of the electric force between them? (a) 112F (b) 13F (c) 16F (d) 34F (e) 32F
An object with negative charge is placed in a region of space where the electric field is directed vertically upward. What is the direction of the electric force exerted on this charge? (a) It is up. (b) It is down. (c) There is no force. (d) The force can be in any direction.
There are very large numbers of charged particles in most objects. Why, then, don't most objects exhibit static electricity?
Three charges are situated at corners of a rectangle as in Figure P16.13. How much work must an external agent do to move the 8.00-C charge to infinity? Figure P16.13 Problems 13 and 14.
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?
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?
How would you determine whether the charge on a particular rod is positive or negative?
