Consider the given diagram of two electrical charges. Which of the following is true about charges A and B?

3

A point charge of charge is placed in a uniform electric field of strength going to the right. The charge is then moved at an angle of below the horizontal to the right. What is the net work done on this charge?

4

A student has a neutrally charged glass rod and a neutrally charged silk cloth. When the student rubs the silk cloth on the glass rod, the rod acquires a net positive charge. What is the charge on the silk cloth after the student performs this experiment?

5
