If a rod attached to the approaching charge if the rod consists of "stiff" spring-like bonds for which atoms undergo small oscillations. What can we say, about these springlike bonds when the charge is first, furthest away and second, closest to the source charge

hello options related to your question is missing attached below is the missing part of your question

No charge of the length of the bonds expected because the rod did not touch the charge source ( option A )

Explanation:

When the Charge is first, Furthest away and second  and closest to the source charge. The spring like bonds can be said to have No charge of the length  of the bonds expected because the rod did not touch the charge source when Furthest away the bond with charge will be less effective

compass can be used day and night, cloudy or sunny
