|
Neutral particles
contain equal number of positive and negative charges. No attraction or
repulsion occurs between two neutral particles.

| Similar charges repel each other. |  |
| Similar charges repel each other. |  |

|
 |
| Neutral particles can be attracted by charged particles. When a negative charge is placed close to a neutral particle, the positive charges are attracted while the negative charges are repelled, as seen on the right. |  |

What is the
likely charge on rod "A" and rod "B"?
|
 |
| Jonathon conducted the experiment shown on the right. He concluded that rods "A" and "B" must have the same charge. Is he totally correct? |  |
