- Can you account for all the forces observed with just 2 kinds of
charge, or do you need a third? Please don't answer, ``Yes, and we
don't need a third''. Instead, show how to account for each deflection
using the two charge theory (or how this is inadequate based on your
results). Comment on whether some other force can account for your observations.
- What charge does a body have if it is attracted to both kinds of charge?
- Consider the form of the force equation for
electric charges, the physical dimensions of which are all much smaller than
their separation, upon each other:
and discuss whether this is better than having in the
numerator.
- Did you observe an ``inverse square law'' interaction? Do you
expect to?
