GENERAL PHYSICS
Activity 1
Guide Questions:
1. The paper squares were being drawn to and attached to the comb as a result.
2. Under the concept of charge by friction, the number of electrons lost and acquired is
proportionate to one another. In this case, the paper squares attach to the comb because the
charged comb charges each type of material in separate directions.
Activity 2
Guide Questions:
1. Two metal spheres in contact with each other, one charged with a positive or negative
charge and the other with a neutral charge
2. As it draws the positively charged glass rod nearby, the neutral metal sphere on the left
collects a negative charge, leaving the other sphere with a positive charge.
3. Despite never having come into contact with a charged object, the spheres retain their
net charges once the inducing rod is withdrawn. Induction charging occurs when one
thing generates charge in another object without making physical contact.
4. When a positively charged glass rod is held up to the tip of an electroscope, electrons
are pulled to the top, leaving the foil leaves with a net positive charge.
5. When the rod is rubbed against the ball, electrons are attracted and transported,
lowering the net charge on the glass rod but leaving the electroscope with a positive
charge.
6. Once the glass rod is removed, the surplus charges are uniformly distributed in the
electroscope's stem and leaves.

Coulomb's Law has many applications in modern life. Xerox machines and laser printers, for
example, play a significant part in enabling education in the new normal. Because not all
students have home internet access and hence cannot participate in online classrooms, these
tools will have a significant impact on educational quality. Teachers can print learning activity
sheets, and students can receive and reply to them. Those who do not have internet access or
the appropriate gadgets for online classes can now continue their studies. Furthermore, these
tools provide students the option of whether or not they want to spend several hours staring at
their devices and exposing themselves to potentially harmful radiation.
