away from each charge and meeting in the middle
B
away from each charge and curving away from one another
C
away from the positive charge and toward the negative charge
D
away from the negative charge and toward the positive charge

Through which element would someone most likely receive a shock?

A
iodine (I)
B
sulfur (S)
C
phosphorus (P)
D
chromium (Cr)
8

Which pair does NOT have an electric force between them?

A
a positive object and negative object
B
two positive objects
C
two neutral objects
D
two negative objects

A positive rod is placed to the left of sphere A, and the spheres are separated.

Question illustration
A
Sphere A is negative and sphere B is positive because protons from sphere A are attracted to the rod and move to sphere B.
B
Sphere A is negative and sphere B is positive because electrons from sphere B are attracted to the rod and move to sphere A.
C
Sphere A is positive and sphere B is negative because electrons from the rod move to sphere B and protons then move to sphere A.
D
Sphere A is positive and sphere B is negative because protons move from sphere B to the rod and also to sphere A.
