Get a balloon from a market, blow it up until the radius is about 2.5 cm. Draw a solid circle on the surface of the balloon with the radius being about 0.5 cm. Then blow up the balloon further so that the radius is going to be 5 cm and measure how large the solid circle that you have drawn. Think about what needs to be reduced as the size of the circle becomes larger and what this is to do with the Gauss law that we studied in class. Use the above test to answer this question. Testing the size of the circle that you draw when the radius of the balloon gets doubled. Come up with three or more reasons that the size of the circle is not the same as what is estimated from the theories.
