<u>Ad populum</u> is one of the mistakes Linda made when analyzing the study's findings.

<h3><u>Ad populum, what is it?</u></h3>

Similar to an argument from authority, argumentum ad populum is a type of informal fallacy, specifically a fallacy of relevance (argumentum ad verecundiam). It makes use of a group's views, preferences, or values to argue that something is true just because the majority of people share that opinion or attitude.

In commercial advertising, appeals to popularity are frequently used to highlight the benefits of a product above its own merits by emphasizing how many people use it or how it is related to popular culture. This fallacy also manifests in the opposite argument, which claims that something that is unpopular must be defective.

ki77a [65]

Answer:

b) electrons jump onto or off the neutral ball when a charged object comes close

Explanation:

What causes a pithball to move is when "electrons jump onto or off the neutral ball when a charged object comes close".

The pithball electroscope is actually used to test if a body is charged or not. When a charged body is brought near the pithball, the ball moves. The movement of that charged body reveal that there are electrons it is carrying.

The pithball can actually be charged. It is charged by touching a charged object to it. This leads to some of the charges on the surface of the charged object moving to the surface of the ball. The pith-ball electroscope was invented by John Canton, a British schoolmaster and physicist in 1754.
