Imagine that two charged rods are held together as shown and a charged pith ball is placed at point P.
Predict whether the rod farther from point P would exert an electric force on the pith ball. Explain.
Check your prediction by placing a charged pith bail al point P near two charged rods and then slowly moving one rod away from the other. Describe your observations and discuss with your partners whether your results from this experiment support your prediction.
