Why is it dangerous to probe inside a television set even hours after it has been unplugged?
What will be an ideal response?
Capacitors are charged to large potentials and store considerable charge within the TV sets and they still hold charge long after being disconnected from the power supply.

Linus claims that the added gravitational force of neutrons holds the particles in a nucleus together. Linnea says that they stick together because they lose their electric charge when they form a nucleus. Which one, if either, is correct, and why?
a. Linus, because more particles exert gravitational forces on one another than exert electromagnetic forces. b. Linus, because the numerical magnitude of G/ke is 7.42 × 10^?21. c. Linnea, because the numerical magnitude of G/ke is 7.42 × 10^?21. d. Both, because electric charge is lost and then gravity holds the nucleus together. e. Neither, because gravity is not lost, and the numerical magnitude of ke/G is 1.35 × 10^20.
