Rod A is a positively charged insulator. Bob C and a second rod B are in contact with each other and made from conducting material. Rod B is fixed, and C is suspended from a wire and free to swing. Briefly describe what happens when A is brought near B. (I would draw a diagram but i can't figure out how to get it to go with my post).
since A is positively charged I thought that when you brought it near to the fixed rod B that rod B would become polarized. This resulting polarization would then polarize the bob(ball) hanging from the string that is in contact with it. Apparently I am missing something because this is slightly incorrect
