A lightweight metal ball hangs by a thread. When a charged rod is held near, the ball moves toward the rod, touches the rod, then quickly 鈥渇lies away鈥 from the rod. Explain this behavior.
Two positive point charges q and 4q are at x = 0 and x = L, respectively, and free to move. A third charge is placed so that the entire three-charge system is in static equilibrium. What are the magnitude, sign, and x-coordinate of the third charge?
Suppose there exists a third type of charge in addition to the two types we鈥檝e called glass and plastic. Call this third type X charge. What experiment or series of experiments would you use to test whether an object has X charge? State clearly how each possible outcome of the experiments is to be interpreted.
44. What is the force on the charge in the middle of FIGURE Pdue to the four other charges? Give your answer in component form.

Figure showed how an electroscope becomes negatively charged. The leaves will also repel each other if you touch the electroscope with a positively charged glass rod. Use a series of charge diagrams to explain what happens and why the leaves repel each other.
