What is the difference between the law of charges and Columb's law?
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.
The following scenarios involve a metal ball and a charged glass rod. No other objects are involved. a. A small metal ball is attracted to a negatively charged glass rod. Is the metal ball necessarily positively charged? Explain. b. A small metal ball is repelled by a negatively charged glass rod. Is the metal ball necessarily negatively charged? Explain.
What is the repulsive force between two pith balls that are 8.00 cm apart and have equal charges of 30.0 nC?
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 charges +3C and +12C are fixed 1 m apart, with the second one to the right.

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.
The net excess charge on two small spheres (small enough to be treated as point charges) is Q. Show that the force of repulsion between the spheres is greatest when each sphere has an excess charge Q/2. Assume that the distance between the spheres is so large compared with their radii that the spheres can be treated as point charges.
