Bits of paper are attracted to an electrified comb even though they have no net chargeHow is this possible?A positively charged glass rod is brought close to a neutral sphere that is supported on a nonconducting plastic standSketch the distribution of charges on the sphere if it is made of:a) Aluminumb) Non-conducting plastic
1 a positive or negative attracts a neutral a)Aluminum: the electrons in the sphere would rise towards the positively charged glass rod making the top part of the sphere negative and the bottom part positive b) Non conducting matierial: nothing would happen the sphere would still be neutral
