The force electrostatic charges allows us to find the signs of the charge of the spheres are:
- The only possibility that the relationship is fulfilled is that spheres 1 and 3 must be insulating with a net charge and sphere 2 must be metallic with no net charge.
Electrostatics studies the force between objects with electric charges, finding that objects with charges of the same sign repel and objects with charges of different signs attract.
It indicates that we have three balls hanging, balls 1 and 2 attract each other, consequently they must have a different sign of charge.
Spheres 2 and 3 repel each other, therefore their charge must be of the same sign.
Let's analyze all the possibilities that meet the two previous conditions.
Spheres of non-conductive material.
- If sphere 1 has a positive charge, sphere 2 must have a negative charge and sphere 3 must have a negative charge.
- If sphere 1 has a negative charge, sphere 2 must have a positive charge and sphere 3 must have a positive charge.
Spheres 1 and 3 of non-conductive and sphere 2 of metallic material.
- If sphere 1 has a positive charge. Sphere 2 is neutral. The sphere 1 attracts the negative movil charge of sphere 2 and at the other end of sphere 2 it has a positive charge and is repelled by sphere 3
In conclusion using the force electrostatic charge we can find the signs of the charge of the spheres are:
- The only possibility that the relationship is fulfilled is that spheres 1 and 3 must be insulating with a net charge and sphere 2 must be metallic with no net charge.
