Question

Student 1: Since the ball is a conductor, the excess charge will beevenly distributed on the surface. Since the ball and thetape have like charges, they will repel.

Student 2: "The tape will still repel the positive charge on theball and attract the negative charge on the ball. If theexcess positive charge is not too much they still may attract eachother."

Student 1: They can't be true. If the ball has a net positivecharge then there is no negative charge on the ball.
