What is the movement of static charge from one place to another?
Static Discharge:Perhaps you see a spark jump between your hand and the doorknob. The spark is an example of an electric discharge. An electric discharge is the movement of static charge from one place to another. The spark you saw was the result of a static charge moving between your hand and the doorknob.
What is conserved of electric charge?
: a principle in physics: the total electric charge of an isolated system remains constant irrespective of whatever internal changes may take place
If you place a charge into an electric field it will move in the direction indicated by the electric field lines?
it will occure if the charge is positive, other wise it will move to opposite direction.
Where is an electric field the strongest?
Near the poles, weakest at the midpoint between them
How can the electrical potential energy of a charged particle in an electric field be increased?
THIS IS A GOOD QUESTION IF WE PLACE THE CHARGE IN THE ELECTRIC FIELD AT A DISTANCE R FROM THE ELECTRIC FIELD AND PLACED THE ANOTHER POINT CHARGE AT A ANOTHER DISTANCE r WHERE R IS GRATER THAN THE SMALL R THEN THE ELECTRIC FIELD AT r IS MORE THAN THE ELECTRIC FIELD AT POINT R.ORWE CAN SAY THAT IF THE CHARGE IS PLACED IN THE DIRECTION OF ELECTRIC FIELD THAN ITS ELECTROSTATIC POTENTIAL ENERGY WILL DECREASE OR WHEN IN DIRECTION OPPOSITE THAN VICEVERSA
What is electric charge build up one place?
builds a charge in one place
Is an electric charge a property of just electricity or is charge a property of all atoms?
Atoms contain both positive (protons) and negative (electrons) electric charges. But in the vast majority of atoms these positive and negative electric charges balance, canceling and resulting in zero total electric charge. When electrons detach from atoms we generate electricity. Where there are fewer electrons there is a positive charge. Where there are more electrons there is a negative charge. When two places have different charges we get an electric voltage. When electrons flow from a negatively charged place to a positively charged place we get an electric current.
Is electric charge a tiny amount of energy?
Depends on the amount of the electric charge and on which place it is stored. Two clouds with a big amount of a potential electric charge, one positive and the other negative, will produce a huge amount of energy represented by a lightning bolt.
What is the fundamental carrier of electric charge?
The fundamental carrier of electric charge is the electron. The charge on one electron is 1.6021765 × 10−19 Coulomb, and is negative. Charge can't exist in any smaller quantity, and all charges are multiples of this quantity. Protons have a positive charge of the same quantity, but they stay in their respective nuclei and don't participate in the movement of charge from place to place.

What equipment do you need to charge an electric car?
An electric car can be charged in your yard. It is suggested that charging take place outside as hydrogen gas is vented during the charge. A plus is all you need for most cars.
If you place a charge into an electric field it will move in the direction indicated by the electric field lines?
it will occure if the charge is positive, other wise it will move to opposite direction.
Where is an electric field the strongest?
Near the poles, weakest at the midpoint between them
The electrical force on a 2-C charge is 60 N What is the value of the electric field at the place where the charge is located?
Force can be found using the equation F=qE, where q is the given charge 2C and E is the unknown electric field. Force is given as 60 N which modifies the equation to E=F/q. Substituting the values we get E=60/2= 30N/C which is the electric field at the location of the charge.
An electric current is made up of?
An electric current is made up electrons that are moving into a place that is usually positively charged. It moves towards an area that is positive to be able to neutralize that charge.
