Textbook Question
Chapter 5.1, Problem 1eT
Base your answers to the following questions on the observations you have made thus far.
- Is it possible that there is only type of charge? If not, what is the minimum number of different types of charge needed to account for your observations thus far? Explain.
- By convention, a glass rod is said to be “positively charged” when rubbed with silk. Your instructor will tell you whether your acrylic rod is positively or negatively charged when rubbed with the particular material you are using.
How do the two objects that are positively charged interact? Explain how your call tell.
Which tape, T or B, has a positive charge? Explain.

Charged object A (QA) creates an electric field (E). A positively-charged test charge (qB) is used to measure the electric force (F) at various distances (d) from object A. Express your understanding of electric field strength and electric force by filling in the following table. (Note that the units on charge are fictitious units. Since the value of k is not known in these units, you will have to use your qualitative understanding to answer this question. That is, you will have to think about relationships - the effect that doubling or quadrupling or halving ... the d or the Q has upon the force and the field strength.)

Consider the arrangement of charges shown in the figure. Four charges of equal magnitude Q but varying sign are placed at the
corners of a square as indicated. A positive charge q is placed in the center.
What is the direction of the net force, if any, on the center
charge? Indicate your answer by placing the appropriate label
in the first box.
Now Suppose that the charge q were to be displaced slightly
from the center position. On the figure, label each box with
the arrow that best indicates the direction of the net force that
would act on q if it were moved to that location.
