A Van de Graaff generator is used to build up charges on the outside of a sphere. A belt is charged with electrons by rubbing
against a rough pulley. These electrons are then transferred to a metal sphere and spread out even on its outer surface. When
objects are brought near the sphere, they are either attracted or repelled by the sphere even if they do not touch.
If a charged object is brought near the sphere, how is the charge on the sphere related to its motion?
Any charge will be attracted to the sphere.
A negative charge will be repelled by the sphere.
A positive charge will be repelled by the sphere.
D)
A negative charge will be attracted to the sphere.

During physical science, ms. greene challenged her students to produce an energy transformation. james and jill wrapped a 4-inch nail with a coil of fifty turns of wire. they connected one end of the coil to one terminal of a knife switch. they connected the other terminal of the knife switch to the battery. finally, they connected the end of the coil to the other terminal of the battery. james held the tip of a 1-inch nail near the flat end of the 4-inch nail. jill closed the knife switch quickly and then opened it. the 1-inch nail was pulled toward the 4-inch nail. what is the best explanation of why the nail moved? a) electrical energy was converted to mechanical energy in the 1-inch nail. b) the 4-inch nail became an electromagnet and the magnetic force attracted the 1-inch nail. c) the electric current in the 4-inch nail was converted to mechanical energy in the 1-inch nail. d) the 4-inch nail had a positive charge and the 1-inch nail had a negative charge. opposites attracted.
