Two neutral metal cans are touching when a negatively charged balloon is brought close to one can as shown in 'At First'. The cans are then separated by a hand with an insulated glove into the positions shown in 'Then'. At First Then Negatively Charged Balloon Brought Near to Metal Cans that are Touching Cans Separated Using Non-Conductor While Balloon Stays in Same Position * Separation causes one con to open cnd both cans to lose shine - both these factors may be ignored What is the charge, if any, on the smaller can on the right in 'Then'? O positive O negative O neutral O need more information O induction causes it to be negative towards its right and positive toward its left

If you have charged an electroscope by contact with a positively charged object, describe how you could use it to determine the charge of other objects. Specifically, what would the leaves of the electroscope do if other charged objects were brought near its knob?
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.
Sketch the electric field between the two conducting plates shown in Figure 18.50, given the top plate is positive and an equal amount of negative charge is on the bottom plate. Be certain to indicate the distribution of charge on the plates.
Bare free charges do not remain stationary when close together. To illustrate this, calculate the acceleration of two isolated protons separated by 2.00 nm (a typical distance between gas atoms). Explicitly show how you follow the steps in the Problem-Solving Strategy for electrostatics.
When a glass rod is rubbed with silk, it becomes negativeyet both attract dust. Does the dust have a third type of charge that is attracted to both positive and negative? Explain.
After an initially neutral glass rod is rubbed with an initially neutral silk scarf, the rod has a charge of 45.7 C. Estimate the fractional increase or decrease in the scarfs mass. Would this change in mass be easily noticed?
A large charge +Q and a small charge q are a short distance apart. How do the electric forces on each charge compare? Is this comparison described by another physical law? (Hint: See Chapter 3.4.)
Sparks will occur between the plates of an ail-filled capacitor at a lower voltage when the air is humid than when it is dry. Discuss why, considering the polar character of water molecules.
A silk scarf is rubbed against glass, and a wool scarf is rubbed against plastic. (Initially, all four objects were neutral.) Afterward, it is found that the glass is attracted to the plastic. Will the silk be attracted to the wool? Explain.
