Question
Consider the following statement by a physics student who is investigating charge: know that aluminum is a conductor and that plastic is an insulator. That means that aluminum objects can become charged but not plastic objects." Would you agree or disagree with this statement? If yo would be correct? Justify your answer on the basis of your observations from lab. u disagree, how would you modify it so that it If a positively charged object is used to charge a second object (that was originally neutral) by contact, will the second object be positively charged, negatively charged, or could it be either positively or negatively charged? Explain If a positively charged object is used instead to charge a second object (that was originally neutral) by induction, will the second object be positively charged, negatively charged, or could it be either positively or negatively charged? Explain.Explanation / Answer
(A) I would disagree with the statement because charge accumulates on insulators too. Insulators only oppose the flow of charges.
(B) The second object will be positively charged as the charge will redistribute evenly on contact.
(C) The second object will be negatively charged because the positive charge on the first object will induce a negative charge.
