One group of students is investigating the properties of charged objects. their observations are listed below.
when two positively charged objects are brought close to each other, they push each other away.
when two negatively charged objects are brought close to each other, they push each other away.
when a positively charged object is brought close to a negatively charged object, they pull toward each other.
the experiment was repeated by several students using different charged objects. the results were the same. based on the investigations, which of these theories would the students most likely propose?
a. similar charges attract
b. similar charges repel
c. positive charges attract all charges
d. negative charges attract all charges

Apositive point charge q is fixed on a very large horizontal frictionless tabletop. a second positive point charge q is released from rest near the stationary charge and is free to move. which statement best describes the motion of q after it is released? assume q stays on the table

What must be the same for any two resistors that are connected in series ? a. the potntial diffrence across each b. the rate at which charge moves through each c. the rate at which energy is used by each d. the resistance to the flow of charge of each

First, launch the video below. you will be asked to use your knowledge of physics to predict the outcome of an experiment. then, close the video window and answer the question at right. you can watch the video again at any point. part a as in the video, we apply a charge +q to the half-shell that carries the electroscope. this time, we also apply a charge –q to the other half-shell. when we bring the two halves together, we observe that the electroscope discharges, just as in the video. what does the electroscope needle do when you separate the two half-shells again? view available hint(s) as in the video, we apply a charge + to the half-shell that carries the electroscope. this time, we also apply a charge – to the other half-shell. when we bring the two halves together, we observe that the electroscope discharges, just as in the video. what does the electroscope needle do when you separate the two half-shells again? it deflects more than it did at the end of the video. it deflects the same amount as at end of the video. it does not deflect at all. it deflects less than it did at the end of the video. submit
