Question
Consider the following situation: A positively charged rod isbrought near a neutral conductor that rests on an insulatingsurface. The rod does not touch the conductor but only remainsnearby. Select all of the following statements which are true(there may be more than one answer).The conductor remains neutraloverall.
The conductor becomespolarized.
The side of the conductor farther fromthe rod becomes positively charged.
The conductor becomes negatively chargedoverall.
The side of the conductor nearer to therod becomes positivley charged.
The side of the conductor farther fromthe rod becomes negatively charged.
The conductor becomes positively chargedoverall.
The side of the conductor nearer to therod becomes negatively charged.
The conductor remains neutraloverall.
The conductor becomespolarized.
The side of the conductor farther fromthe rod becomes positively charged.
The conductor becomes negatively chargedoverall.
The side of the conductor nearer to therod becomes positivley charged.
The side of the conductor farther fromthe rod becomes negatively charged.
The conductor becomes positively chargedoverall.
The side of the conductor nearer to therod becomes negatively charged.
Explanation / Answer
True - The conductor remainsneutral overall. True - The conductor becomespolarized. True - The side of theconductor farther from the rod becomes positivelycharged. False - The conductor becomesnegatively charged overall. False - The side of theconductor nearer to the rod becomes positivley charged. False - The side of theconductor farther from the rod becomes negativelycharged. False - The conductor becomespositively charged overall. True - The side of theconductor nearer to the rod becomes negatively charged.
