A negatively charged plastic rod attracts bits of paper. We can conclude the paper bits are
A. positively charged
B. negatively charged
C. electrically neutral
D. either A or C
E. It is impossible to draw any conclusions about the paper.
Answer















Knight2 26.stt.1
To determine if an object has positive charge, you need to
A. see if the object attracts a negatively charged object.
B. see if the object repels a positively charged object.
C. Do both A and B.
D. Do either A or B.
Answer



























 

1. proton = +e
2. electron = −e
3. 17 protons and 19 electrons = −2e
4. 1,000,000 protons and 1,000,000 electrons = 0
5. glass ball that's missing 3 electrons = +3e

By comparing the net charge values we arrive at the ranking:
D. e > a > d > b > c





















 



A. They have the same amount of charge.
This must be true because the sum of the two charges must be zero in order for the molecule to have been electrically neutral before it disassociated.




















 



D. either A or C
The bits of paper can be attracted to the negatively charged rod if they are either positively charged or neutral (in which case the attraction is caused by charge polarization). We can only rule out answer B because if the paper bits were negatively charged they would be repelled by the negatively charged rod.




















 



B. see if the object repels a positively charged object.
Attraction to a negative charge is not helpful for determining whether an object is positively charged because neutral objects (like bits of paper) are also attracted to a positively charged object. But repulsion by a known positive charge is definitive proof the object is positively charged.
