1) One theory about charging insulators is called adhesion. Look this up and explain (in about 3-4 sentences) why charge transfers between two insulators that are rubbed together. 2) Describe what happens to the charge on a neutral metal sphere if a charged rod is brought near (but not touching) the sphere. 3) Does the sphere in the previous question remain neutral?
