The local charging of the comb is due to induction. The negative object's charge pushes electrons in the comb away from the side close to the charged object causing that part to be positively charged. Note that the comb's net charge is still zero provided it doesn't touch the object. When you move the comb away its electrons will redistribute.

Arigid body must rotate about an axis in order for it to have angular momentum about that axis. True False

kompoz [17]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Let's consider the definition of the angular momentum,

$\vec{L} = I \vec{\omega}$

where $I = \int\limits_m r^2 dm = \lim_{n \to \infty} \sum\limits_{i=1}^n m_i r_i^2$ is the moment of inertia for a rigid body. Now, this moment of inertia could change if we change the axis of rotation, because "r" is defined as the distance between the puntual mass and the nearest point on the axis of rotation, but still it's going to have some value. On the other hand,

$\vec{\omega} = \frac{\vec{r} \times \vec{v}}{r^2}$ so $\vec{\omega} \neq 0$ unless $\vec{r}$ ║ $\vec{v}$ .

In conclusion, a rigid body could rotate about certain axis, generating an angular momentum, but if you choose another axis, there could be some parts of the rigid body rotating around the new axis, especially if there is a projection of the old axis in the new one.
