(Solved)
(a) An experiment was performed in the laboratory in the sequence described
I. Brought a positively charged plastic ruler near to the cap of an uncharged leaf electroscope
II. Touched the cap momentarily with the finger
III. Removed the ruler
Draw diagram to show charge distribution on the cap and leaf of the electroscope and the position of the leaf after each of the above procedure.
(b) What will be the effect observed if the ruler is removed before removing the finger?
(c) In a separate experiment, the charged plastic ruler was allowed to touch the cap of electroscope. State giving a reason whether or not there will be any difference in the results obtained in (a) above
(d) In a nylon manufacturing factory heavy rubber units were put under the spinning machines which were made of metal to absorb the noise. The following effects were observed
A. Workers sometimes received electric shock when there was no leakage of charge from the main cable.
B. Small pieces of nylon stuck to the thread but whenever the room was moist this did not occur
(i) State and explain the reasons for the observation in A and B above.
(ii) How would the effect in (d) A be corrected
