You are given a negatively charged pith ball, hanging from a string, and a non-conducting rod. As you bring the rod near the ball you find that the ball is attracted towards the rod. From this experiment it is not possible for you to determine whether the rod is charged positively or neutral. Why not? What additional experiment would you propose to conduct to decide between these two possibilities?
