Watch Video OET 17.2 on slide 5 of the lab packet. The balloon in the video is charged after being rubbed by a piece of wool felt. Which of the following statements best describes your observations? a) The charged balloon is only attracted to the wood because it is an insulator. b) The charged balloon is repelled by both the uncharged wooden board and the uncharged metal sheet, but the repulsion form the wood is stronger. c) The charged balloon is attracted to both the uncharged wooden board and the uncharged metal sheet, but the attraction to the metal is stronger. d) The charged balloon does not interact with either the metal or the wood because they are uncharged. e) The charged balloon is only attracted to the metal because it is a conductor. f) The charged balloon is repelled by both the uncharged wooden board and the uncharged metal sheet, but the repulsion from the metal is stronger. g) The charged balloon is attracted to both the uncharged wooden board and the uncharged metal sheet, but the attraction to the wood is stronger.

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?
Using Figure 18.43, explain, in terms of Coulomb's law, why a polar molecule (such as in Figure 18.43) is attracted by both positive and negative charges Figure 18.43 Schematic representation of the outer electron cloud of a neutral water molecule. The electrons spend more time near the oxygen than the hydrogens, giving a permanent charge separation as shown. Water is thus a polar molecule. It is more easily affected by electrostatic forces than
The fundamental charge is e = 1.60 1019 C. Identify whether each of the following statements is true or false. (a) Its possible to transfer electric charge to an object so that its net electric charge is 7.5 times the fundamental electric charge, e. (b) All protons have a charge of +e. (c) Electrons in a conductor have a charge of e while electrons in an insulator have no charge.
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.
