Compared to what ?
Here's something to think about: There are some bits of tissue lying on the
table on a dry day. You rub a balloon against your sweater a few times, and then
you pass the balloon low over the bits of tissue. In response to the electrostatic
force of the charged balloon, the bits jump off the table and up to stick to the
balloon ... even though the gravity of the whole Earth is pulling them down.
What else can I help you with?
Are electrostatic forces contact forces?
No, electrostatic forces are non-contact forces that act between charged particles without physically touching.
What forces holds ions together?
electrostatic forces-apex
What is a electrostatic force?
It is a total sum of all electrostatic forces acting upon an object.
What causes magnetic and electrostatic forces?
friction
What three forces can act from a distance?
There are only two forces that act at a distance:gravity, andelectromagnetism.Magnetic fields are sometimes referred to as a third force, however magnetism and electrostatic forces are both examples the electromagnetic force.
Are ionic forces weaker than water?
Ionic forces are electrostatic forces and are very strong forces of attraction.
Are gravitational forces identical to electrostatic forces?
No, gravitational forces are caused by the mass of an object, while electrostatic forces are caused by the electric charge of an object. While both forces follow an inverse square law, they arise from different properties of matter.
How do electrostatic forces affect the nucleus?
Electrostatic forces within the nucleus primarily play a role in holding the protons together due to the strong nuclear force. This force overcomes the electrostatic repulsion between positively charged protons, allowing nuclei to stay intact. The electrostatic forces between protons and electrons also contribute to the stability of atoms.
What forces typically holds ions together?
electrostatic forces-apex
What are the most significant differences that electrostatis forces have to gravitational forces?
Electrostatic forces are FAR stronger than gravitation forces. In addition, electrostatic forces only have a measurable effect over short distances, where as gravitational effects have a significant effect over huge distances.
What are the strong forces of attraction called between the positive and negative regions of molecules called?
The strong forces of attraction between the positive and negative regions of molecules are called electrostatic forces or electrostatic interactions.
What three forces act from a distance?
Gravity, magnetism, and electrostatic.
