Question

When an inflated nylon balloon is rubbed against acrylic cloth, the balloon becomes positively charged.

5.Imagine that such charged nylon balloon was placed against a drywall. Will it stick?Explain.

6.Imagine that the charged nylon balloon was placed against an aluminum wall. Will it stick?Explain

Briskly rub a comb through your hair or on a woolen garment, and bring it near a smallbut smooth stream of running water

7.Is the stream of water deflected? In what direction? How’s that possible, since water is not charged?Explain

You have read in the text that of the two charged bodies to the right of thelarge charged dome in the Figure below, the one with greater charge (larger number of “+” symbols representing positivecharges) has more electric potential energy in the field of the dome, but the electric potential of eachbody in the field of dome is the same

8. Explain.

Explanation / Answer

5) the ballon would not stick to the wall as wall is an insulator and there would be no induction effect on insulator.

6) the ball would stick to the alluminium wall as alluminium is a conductor and due to induction negative charges would tend to come closer to the ball resulting in attraction between the positively charged ball and negative side of the wall

7) there is a small defection seen in water towards the charge on the comb. Although water is not charged the induction effect there is deflection in the path of the flow

8) we would need figure for this
