Wednesday Homework Problem 1.7 When a charged insulating rod is brought near a neutral plastic bottle, the bottle rolls toward the rod. Select the one of the following that is NOT part of the explanation of why this happens. Select One of the Following: (a) The rod transfers an opposite charge to the bottle. (b) The rod causes the bottle to polarize (c) The bottle remains neutral. (d) The electric force decreases in strength with increasing distance (e) The sum of the forces on the polarized charge is attractive

Explanation / Answer

As the rod is brought near the bottle and their is no connection (touching) between them, therefore no charge transfer process can takes place. Hence rod cannot transfer an opposite charge to the bottle. The attraction is due to the induction process.

Hence option A (FIRST) represent the incorrect information.
