Assignment:
Use the principles given in the Objectives part of the lab to answer the following questions:
Question :1 Two charges (labelled A and B) are placed in some object (for example. a piece of glass or a piece of metal). Assume for the moment that both charges. are electrons. if the material is a conductor, how will the electrostatic forces make them move? Where will they stop?
Question :2 How will the charges move in the conductor if charge A is an electron and charge 13 is a passim ice ion! Where will they stop?
Question :3 After the charges in the previous problem stop moving. a third charge ((barge C) is put into the conductor. Do you expect it to feel a force? Give your reasoning.
Question :4 How will the charges in Fig move due to the electrostatic forces if the material in which they are placed is an insulator?
Question :5 Figure shows a conductor that has some extra electrons placed on it. Describe how the excess negative charge moves? How is it distibutcd when it stops moving?
