A charged conductor is brought near an uncharged insulator. Neither object exerts an electrical force on the other. When an cbonite rod is rubbed with animal fur, the rod becomes negatively charged as positive charges are transferred from the rod to the fur. Bits of paper are attracted to a charged rubber rod because paper is naturally a positive material. An aluminum nail has an excess charge of +3.2C. How many electrons must be added to the nail to make it electrically neutral? a G) 20x10" b.) 2.0x10"° ¢.) 3.2x10° d.) 3.2x10° <.) 5.0x10" One mole of substance contains 6.02x10" protons and an equal number of electrons.

The electric field is never zero in the vicinity of these charges. 1b) The electric field is zero somewhere on the x axis to the left of the +4q charge. The electric field is zero somewhere to the right of the -2q charge «.) The electric field is zero somewhere on the x axis between the two charges, but this point is nearer to the -2q charge. @.) The electric field is zero at two points along the x axis; one such point is to the right of the -2g charge and the other is to the left of the +49 charge.Which one of the following statements is truc concerning the strength of the electric field between two oppositely charged parallel plates? a) it is zero midway between the plates. b) Itis e maximum midway between the plates. ¢) Itis e maximum near the positively charged plate. d) Itis « maximum near the negatively charged plate. 3 It is constant between the plates except near the edges. Five particles are shot from the left into a region that contains a uniform electric field. The numbered lines show the paths taken by the five particles. A negatively charged particle with a charge -3Q follows path 2 while it moves through this field. Do not consider affects due to gravity, In which direction does the electric field point? a.)
