Electrostatics I
1.) A plastic rod is rubbed with a dry piece of cloth and the rod becomes positively
charged. The rod has ...
1 gained electrons
2 lost electrons
3 gained protons
4 lost protons
2.) A negatively charged rod will ...
1 always point north-south when freely suspended.
2 P must be positive.
3 Q must be negative.
4 Q must be a conductor.
4.) There is an electrostatic force of attraction between any two of three metal
spheres P, Q and R. A possible combination for the charges on P, Q and R is …
1 P - positive Q - negative R - positive
6.) In an experiment 4
plastic Rods P, Q, R, S
are used. Each rod may
be charged or
uncharged. In tests, it is
found that P repels Q but
R exerts no force on S.
These tests show that ...
1 P and Q are both positive.
2 2
3 3
4 4
8.) An electroscope is negatively charged, with the leaf at an angle of about 45o.
When a negatively charged rod is slowly brought near the plate of the electroscope,
the leaf ...
1 rises.
2 falls.
3 positively charged.
4 negatively charged.
10.) A pear shaped conductor stands on an
insulated base as shown in the diagram at the
right.
