Question 13 of 18 Incorrect Incorrect g Incorrect X Incorrect g Incorrect X Incorrect X Incorrect X Incorrect Incor Map Sapling Learning The pictures show a rod made of mica, a swatch of teflon and an insulated ball of silver, all initially uncharged. is across the to transfer some the signs of electric charge on the mica and the it is charged, near the silver making contact. Label the rod and the near and far sides of the silver ball with the signs of their electric charge. no charge mica rod mica rod near side silver ball teflon swatch far side There is additional feedback

Explanation / Answer

the teflon swatch has a greater affinity for electrons. so , the ellectrons from the mica rod will be pulled into the teflon swatch when the two are rubbed.The mica rod will therefore have a net positive charge and the teflon swatch has a net negative charge

Silver is a conductor for which atoms are free to flow. The mica rod has a positive charge. Free electrons in the silver ball will be attracted to the mica rod so , the near side of the silver ball will have a net negative charge and the far side will have a net positive charge
