Explain why an electric discharge occurs?
Because there is a potential difference between two objects.
What is an electric discharge tar occurs between a positively charged area and a negatively charged area?
lightning
What is the difference between an electrical insulator and an electric discharge?
An electrical insulator is a material whose internal electric charges do not flow freely, and therefore make it nearly impossible to conduct an electric current under the influence of an electric field. This contrasts with other materials, semiconductors and conductors, which conduct electric current more easily.Electric discharge in gases occurs when electric current flows through a gaseous medium due to ionisation of the gas. Depending on several factors, the discharge may radiate visible light.
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.
A type of bond that is formed between two oppositely charged atoms?
Ionic bond is characterised by formation of oppositely charged particles
An electric discharge between two oppositely charged surfaces called what?
You have a spark jumping the gap between the surfaces.......
What is An electric discharge between two oppositely charging surfaces?
Lightning is a common answer, but the clouds are not really a surface. A spark would be a more general description for this phenomenon, such as in a spark plug in your car's engine.
What is an electral discharge that takes place between 2 oppositely charged surfaces such as between a cloud and the ground between 2 clouds or between 2 parts of the same cloud?
Lightning is a massive electrostatic discharge caused by unbalanced electric charge in the atmosphere, either inside clouds, cloud to cloud or cloud to ground, accompanied by the loud sound of thunder.
What is a large electrical discharg that occours between two oppositely charged surfaces?
A spark
Lightning is an electric discharge between a positively charged area and?
It is not a rising of air mass, It is caused by an unbalance in the atmosphere; which an eletric discharge is taking place.Lightning is an electric discharge between a positively charged area and a negatively charged area.a rising air mass
Explain why an electric discharge occurs?
Because there is a potential difference between two objects.
The spark that jumps between the hand and the doorknob is an example of?
an electric discharge ******************* Static electricity.
Formed from electric discharge between positively and negatively charged areas?
An electrical spark.
What electric forces between oppositely charged electrons and protons have to do with chemical reactions?
When metals react, they lose electrons to become stable and sometimes form a compound
In salt What is the bond between sodiuma and chlorine?
Ionic (electric) attraction forces of (sodium) Na+ and (chlorine) Cl- ions. (i.e. of oppositely charged particles)
What happens when polar molecules are between oppositely charged metal plates?
When polar molecules are placed between oppositely charged metal plates they will align themselves. They align in the direction of the field.
Who stated that there were two types of electric charge positive and negative?
Benjamin Franklin. The very famous scientist who did experiments with flying kites during lightning and declared that lightning is due to the electrical discharge between oppositely charged clouds.
