Question

2) In figure 1(a) of theory section, why do you think the bound charge and free charge are located in the opposite sides?

3) During "Charging by contact", we say that the inducing charge cancels the bound charge after contact. What can you infer about the number of inducing charge and bound charge for theis to happen?

4) Circle the correct answer:

a. If I were to drop a negative test charge on top of one of the black arrows in figure 3(a), the carge will move (towards/away) from the center.

b. If I were to drop a negative test charge on top of one of the black arrows in figure 3(a), the charge will move (towards/away) from the center.

bonite/plastic acquires a negative charge when it is rubbed is that electric charge is always conserved. You actually do ects, rather the object becomes charged because negative o other. The fundamental unit of charge is denoted by harge carried by an electron, or a proton and is equal to is the coulomb, denoted by C. cannot take any arbitrary value and has to be an integral amount of charge, the number of electrons (or protons), charged close to charges The I object called to the charge V Figure 1: Charging by Induction

Explanation / Answer

2)

the inducing charge close to the left end of rod is positively charged. we know that opposite charges have tendency to attaract each other and like charges repel each other. due to the same rule , the negative charge accumulates on left end of the rod close to the inducing positive charge and negative charge accummulates on the opposite end.

3)

as the inducing charge and bound charges come in contact, the inducing charge cancels the bound charge because the amount of bount charge is same as that of inducing charge and has opposite nature. for this to happen ,

Number of bound charge = Number of inducing charge
