Question

After getting familiar with the ideas and theoretical part of the lab, use the picture above as a reference to think about and predict what will occur in the following scenarios: You have a charged rod, and a "dangling aluminum foil" (a grounded little piece of aluminium foil) that is neutral. If you bring them together WITHOUT touching each other, what will happen? Select One Explain your reasoning. You touch the "dangling aluminum foil" with the charged rod. Then you separate them. If you bring them together AGAIN, what will happen? Select One Explain your reasoning.

Explanation / Answer

(2.2.1) If you bring them together without touching them, there will be an induced charge on the aluminium foil.

(2.2.2) If you bring them together again after touching them, they will repel each other because when the rod and the foil touched, the charge was evenly distributed between the foil and the rod.
