Charge and Electrication 1. What is electric charge? Ultimately, what two fundamental objects in the atom have electric charge? 3.01.11: ofthese two fundamental objects, is it the positive of negative charge that moves around? Explain why using Bohr's model of the atom. 2. What is the basic law of electrostatics? (Hint: This was the conclusion of Benjamin Franklin's experiment. 3. Describe how to give an electroscope a positive charge a) by conduction, b) by induction. 4. Using a drawing, explain how it is that a neutral pith ball can be attracted to a rubber rod that has been charged by being rubbed with fur. 5. Suppose that you bring a negatively charged rod near the top of the electroscope. The vane of the electroscope, which was originally deflected when no charged object was present, moves even further apart. Is the electroscope charged? If so, what is the sign of the charge? 6. What is the difference between a conducting and insulating material? Give an example of each. 7. Suppose you give a conductive object a positive charge. Make a drawing showing how the charge would be distributed throughout the object
