You have 2 light weight metal spheres, each
hanging from an insulating nylon thread. One
of the spheres has a net negative charge,
while the other sphere has no net charge. If
the spheres are close, but do not touch, will
they:
a) Attract each other
b) Repel each other
c) Exert no force on each other

Respuesta :

Answer:

the correct answer is:

a) Attract each other

Explanation:

Given that one sphere has a net negative charge and the other sphere has no net charge, they will exert an attractive force on each other.

According to Coulomb's law, like charges repel each other, and opposite charges attract each other. Since one sphere has a net negative charge and the other has no net charge, they have opposite charges. Therefore, they will attract each other.

So, the correct answer is:

a) Attract each other
