Question

Map sapling learning The pictures show a rod made of quartz, a swatch of acetate and an insulated ball of silver, all initially uncharged. The rod is dragged across the acetate in order to transfer some charge. Label the signs of the electric charge on the quartz and the acetate. Once it is charged, the rod is placed near the silver ball without making contact. Label the rod and the near and far sides of the silver ball with the signs of their electric charge. no no charge + + quartz rod quartz rod near side acetate swatch silver ball far side

Explanation / Answer

ANSWER.

The diagram can't be made in the QA board. So we explin without the Diagram.

The acete is NEGATIVELY cgarged ion. When Quartz rod is brought close to it the quartz rod will develop POSITIVE CHARGE.

When this positively charged quartz rod is brought close to insulated siliver ball the NEAR SIDE develops NEGATIVE CHARGE and  FAR SIDE develops POSITIVE CHARGE.
