To determine if an object has “glass charge,” you need to

1. see if the object repels a charged glass rod. 2. see if the object attracts a charged plastic rod. 3. Both 1 and 2.4. Either 1 or 2.

An electroscope is positively charged by touching it with a positive glass rod. The electroscope leaves spread apart and the glass rod is removed. Then a negatively charged plastic rod is brought close to the top of the electroscope, but it doesn’t touch. What happens to the leaves?

1. The leaves spread further apart. 2. The leaves get closer together. 3. One leaf moves higher, the other lower.4. The leaves don’t move.

If a negative charged rod is held near a neutral metal ball, the ball is attracted to the rod. This happens

1. because of magnetic effects.2. because the ball tries to pull the rod’s

electrons over to it.3. because the rod polarizes the metal.4. because the rod and the ball have opposite

charges.
