This problem explores the behavior of charge on realistic (i.e. non-ideal) insulators. We take as an example a long insulating rod suspended by insulating wires. Assume that the rod is initially electrically neutral. For convenience, we will refer to the left end of the rod as end A, and the right end of the rod as end B (Eigure 1). In the answer options for this problem, "weakly attracted/repelled" means "attracted/repelled with a force of magnitude similar to that which would exist between two balls, one of which is charged, and the other acquires a small induced charge". An attractive/repulsive force greater than this should be classified as "strongly attracted/repelled" Figure A < 1 of 1 B ▾ Part A Y A small metal ball is given a negative charge, then brought near (i.e., within a few millimeters) to end A of the rod. What happens to end A of the rod when the ball approaches it closely this first time? Select the expected behavior. ▸ View Available Hint(s) O strongly repelled O strongly attracted O weakly attracted O weakly repelled Oneither attracted nor repelled Submit Now consider what happens when the small metal ball is repeatedly given a negative charge and then brought into contact with end A of the rod Part B After several contacts with the charged ball, how is the charge on the rod arranged? Select the best description. ▸ View Available Hint(s) O positive charge on end B and negative charge on end A O negative charge spread evenly on both ends O negative charge on end A with end B remaining almost neutral O positive charge on end A with end B remaining almost neutral Onone of the above Submit
