If a substance has a higher number of electrons than protons on its surface, what type of charge does it have?

• A positive charge.
• A negative charge.
• A neutral charge
• No charge at all

In the diagram shown, the circles represent small balls that have electric charges. Ball 1 has a negative charge, and ball 2 is repelled by ball 1. Next, you see that ball 2 repels ball 3 and that ball 3 attracts ball 4. What is the electric charge on ball 4?

• Ball 4 may have either a positive or negative charge.

• Ball 4 has a negative charge.

• Ball 4 has a positive charge.

• It is not possible to determine the charge on ball 4.
