Answer:

Neutral comb is charged through induction.

Explanation:

The local charging of the comb is caused because of induction. The electron is pushed in the comb to the away side of the charged particle because of the negative charge which makes the close part positively charge.

Then after that when the observer move the comb away from the charge then the electron of the comb is redistributed.

What is the least force you could exert on the refrigerator to move it?

Ulleksa [173]

If the refrigerator weights 1365 and you are not exerting any vertical force on it, then the normal force is also 1365N. so Fn=1365

Fsf = Static frictional force = (coefficient of static friction) * (Normal force)

So the least for you could exert to move it is equal to the Fsf.
Fsf = (0.49)(1365N)
