QUESTION 3
3.1

Negative charge on the rod repels the negative charge in the foil to the far
side of the balls leaving the side closest to the rod positive. The balls are
therefore electrostatically attracted to the negative rod.

3.4

Electrons from the rod move into the foil which now has more electrons
on it so the balls repel each other.

VCD = 1,2 V
The resistances of the light bulbs are different.

(2)

Bulb 2 burns dimmer because the potential difference is lower.
