The diagram below shows the apparatus used in an electrostatics experiment. negatively charged rod grounding rod uncharged electroscope a. Describe or draw what is observed when a negatively charged rod is placed beside the top of the electroscope and why the observed effect occurs. (2)Physics 30: Assignment 3 5 (2) b. While the rod is held close to the top plate of the electroscope as in part a, the grounding rod makes contact with the plate. Describe what happens to the leaves and why. (2) c. Next, the ground is removed and the rod is withdrawn. A net charge is left on the electroscope. Identify the sign of the charge and explain why this charge is left on the electroscope. You may answer with any combination of words and diagrams. (3) 6. Describe an experimental procedure that you could use to determine the unknown charge on a metal sphere without changing the charge on the sphere.

Please return to the course to complete Lesson 2: Investigating Coulomb's Law.s 30: Assignment 3 7 Part Two: Investigating Coulomb's Law 1. While investigating Coulomb's Law, physics students devised an experiment to better understand the relationship between the force of electrostatic repulsion acting on two charged objects and the distance of their separation. Results of the experiment are shown in the table below. Separation Distance Magnitude of Force of Repulsion ( r) IF| (N) ( x 10-2 m or cm) 1.00 360.0 2.00 89.9 3.00 40.0 4.00 27.5 5.00 14.4 a. Draw & insert a graph of the results shown in the table.Physics 30: Assignment 3 8 (1) b. What does the shape of the graph indicate regarding the relationship between the electrostatic force and the separation distance between the two charges? (2) c. Complete the third column in the table below with an expression using r which can be used with F to plot a linear graph (i.e., straighten the graph). See workbook page 5 for strategies on curve straightening.

Draw & insert a graph of the data in the revised table above. 2. A student is investigating Coulomb's law. The student measures a force of +2.00x103 N between the two charged spheres. ( 1 ) a. Describe the law that Charles Coulomb used as the basis of his hypothesis. (2) b. Describe two methods the student could use to increase the force to 64 times its current value. Your answer should include numerical values for clarity.Physics 30: Assignment 3 10 (2) c. The student touches one of the spheres with a neutral sphere of equal size and then removes the neutral sphere. The student then moves one of the spheres so the distance is four times the original distance. What is the ratio of the original force to the new force? (1) 3. Briefly describe Coulomb's torsion balance experiment. (2) 4. What two relationships are investigated in Coulomb's torsion balance experiment? Congrats!
