1. What will be your charge if you scrape electrons from your feet while scuffing across the rug?

When you drag your feet across the carpet, extra charge is scraped off the rug and collects on your body.

2. How do particles with the same charge react?

In contrast to the attractive force between two objects with opposite charges, two objects that are of like
charge will repel each other. That is, a positively charged object will exert a repulsive force upon a
second positively charged object. Objects with like charge repel each other.

3. What are the three ways by which static charge is produced?

Friction – The rubbing together of surfaces transfers electrons from one object to another.

Conduction – Electrons flow freely through one object to another.

Induction – Involves the rearrangement of electric charges within an object.

4. If you where graph the relation F a 1/R2. What kind of graph would you get?

The graph is directly proportional to the graph

5. How will the force For changes if the distance R between the two charge spheres is doubled?
How about if you reduce it to one-half?

The size of the force varies inversely as the square of the distance between the two charges. Therefore, if
the distance between the two charges is doubled, the attraction or repulsion becomes weaker. if
distance between charges is halved, the charges remaining kept constant, the force between the two
charges is quadrupled.

6. Give the similarities and differences between electric fields and traditional fields?

They both act between two bodies without any means of contact. However gravitational force acts on
mass while the electric force acts on charge. Gravitational force are only attractive while electric field can
be attractive/repulsive. Electric field is much stronger than gravitational field.

7. Illustrate the direction of the lines of force between a positive and a negative charge?
