Charged plastic and glass rods hang by threads.
a. An object repels the plastic rod. Can you predict what it will do to the glass rod? If so, what? If not, why not?
b. A different object attracts the plastic rod. Can you predict what it will do to the glass rod? If so, what? If not, why not?
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.

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.

Two neutral metal spheres on wood stands are touching. A negatively charged rod is held directly above the top of the left sphere, not quite touching it. While the rod is there, the right sphere is moved so that the spheres no longer touch. Then the rod is withdrawn. Afterward, what is the charge state of each sphere? Use charge diagrams to explain your answer.
Two protons are 2.0 fm apart.
a. What is the magnitude of the electric force on one proton due to the other proton?
b. What is the magnitude of the gravitational force on one proton due to the other proton?
c. What is the ratio of the electric force to the gravitational force.
