Concept Review
Electric Charge
1. A plastic rod rubbed with wool was used to charge a small metal sphere in three
experiments, as illustrated below. The spheres were held by insulating stands. The
sphere in Experiment B was grounded. Assume the rod had a positive charge.

a. Were charges transferred in Experiments A, B, or C? If so, between which


objects?

b. Sketch the charge distribution for the spheres in each experiment.
c. The rod was removed after a while. In which experiment(s) did the sphere end
up with excess electric charge?

_________________________________________________________________
d. In which experiment(s) did polarization occur?
