If the electric field due to the excess charge on the Earth points downward what type of charge does the Earth carry?
negative
Are you bound to earth by electric forces or by gravity?
gravity because gravity is dependant on mass and not on charge like an electric field
What is the process of diverting unwanted electric charge directly into the earth?
That process is called grounding.
What is practically an infinite reservoir of electric charge?
For practical purposes, planet Earth is often considered as such.
Earth's surface has an excess amount of negative charge?
Yes the Earth has a vertical electric field that points down. So if you were to try and calculate the amount of excess charge on the Earth's surface, you would get a negative value.
What are the kinds of electric charge?
The kinds of electric charge are positive charge and negative charge
Can a liquid retain electrical charge?
Yes. In fact a moving liquid can generate an electric charge. When oil truck fill-up they are required to be grounded to avoid an igniting spark.
Which of the following is true about the electric field around an electric charge?
The electric field around an electric charge varies inversely as the square of the distance to the charge.
What is every electric charge surrounded by?
Every electric charge is surrounded by an electric field.
What particles call electric charge?
Electrons are called electric charge. They are responsible for electric current.
What causes electric charge to separate?
Electric Charge!.... i think is right :)
When an observer moves past a stationary electric charge she detects?
Love and what not love love will keep you together with the earth
