25.3. B and D are both neutral because they have no effect on each other
and neutral is still attracted to either glass or plastic.
Since ball A has been touched by plastic it is also now plastic.
Since ball C is attracted to plastic (A) and neutral (B) then it must be
glass.

25.4. (a) Like charges exert repulsive forces on each other, so the object
must also have plastic charge. Therefore, it will attract the glass rod,
which has the opposite charge (i.e., glass charge).
(b) You cannot predict this because the object could be glass or neutral.
Glass will repel the glass rod but neutral will be attracted to the glass rod.

25.5. Upon touching the charged rod, the metal exchanges charge with the area of
the rod touched by the sphere (we are assuming the rod is an insulator). Some of the
local excess charge on the rod will spread over the conducting sphere, so that both
the rod and the sphere will have an overall excess charge of the same type. Thus, the
sphere and the rod will repel each other.

25.6. Assume that the basic premise of like charges repel, unlike charges attract
still holds. Suspend an object with an excess of unknown charge from a string. First,
approach a plastic-charged rod, then a glass-charged rod. An object with charge X
must be attracted by both of these. However, this is not sufficient because a neutral
object would also be attracted by both rods. To determine if the object is neutral or
not, approach a neutral object. If the object has charge X, it will be attracted, if the
object is neutral, nothing will happen.

25.7. (a)
The negatively charged rod will repel the negative charges on the top of the
electroscope, pushing more negative charge down onto the leaves. The leaves will
separate more.
(b)
The positively charged rod will attract more negative charges to the top of the electroscope. As they depart from the leaves,
the leaves will move closer together.

25.9. Each sphere ends up with one unit of negative charge. Once they touch, the
two spheres become essentially one conductor. The overall net charge is - 4 + 2 =
+ 2. Charge is spread uniformly over the surface of a conductor.

The rod will polarize the charges in the combined conductor A B, attracting
negative charges to A and leaving B with excess positive charge. The combined
conductor A B is still neutral, but A alone has net negative charge.

SOLVE
Your finger becomes polarized. Positive charge is left on the tip of your finger when
negative charges in the finger are repelled by the ball. The excess positive charge in
your finger is then nearer to the negatively charged ball than the negative charge in
your finger, resulting in a net attractive force that attracts the ball.

25.13. (a) The magnitude of the force on A quadruples (increases by a factor of 4),
since the force between the charges is proportional to the product of the magnitudes
of the charges. Therefore, FA 4F .
(b) By Newtons third law, the force of A on B is equal in magnitude to the force of
B on A; therefore the force on B also quadruples; FB FA 4F .
