Explain A charge insulator can be discharge by passing it just above a flame?
Usama30
A charged insulator can be discharged by passing it just above a flame because a flame has a cloud of ions above it. Even though the overall charge above the flame is neutral, a charged insulator will use up the ions that it needs and neutralize.

Is ebonite a conductor?
Ebonite is a poor conductor of electricity, it is an insulator. Electrons cannot move easily within it, but can it form and hold a static charge.
When an object has more negative charge than positive charge what is it called?
The object is named an 'ANION'. A CATION has positive charge. Collectively they are named as 'IONS'.
Is it possible to charge an electrical insulator?
hmm yes because they can also conduct electricity.
What is water reticulation?
I am not aware of "water reticulation" as a term, however, since, reticulation means network, hence (I deduce), water reticulation should mean: The network of pipes that distribute water from sources of charge to points of discharge. This would be similar to a power grid which receives electric energy from various points of charge and delivers it to various points of discharge. A pump is a charging device at a point of charge. A valve is a flow control device along such a network of pipes. A faucet is a terminal flow control device at a point of discharge.
What are the relationships between electrolyte specific gravity freezing point and state of charge?
explain the relationship between electroyte specific gravity, freezing point, and state of charge
A charged insulator can be discharged by passing it just above a flame explain how?
A charged insulator can be discharged by passing it just above a flame because a flame has a cloud of ions above it. Even though the overall charge above the flame is neutral, a charged insulator will use up the ions that it needs and neutralize.
Is the picture tube a conductor or an insulator Explain your answer?
A picture tube is an insulator. The electrons would gather up and so, create an electric charge when the TV is on. If it was a conductor, the charge would not build up. Hope this helps :)
A charge insulater can be discharge by passin it just above a flame explain?
Flame consists in a great portion of ionised gases which conduct electricity.
How would one explain the definition of discharge?
There are several definitions of the word discharge. The first is to relieve of a charge, load or burden; such as an electrical charge or the load off of a ship or truck. Another definition is to put off; such as passengers on a bus or in a taxi. Discharge can also mean to release from confinement or care; such as when a prisoner is released from jail or when you are discharged from the hospital.
Why does an insulator not lose its charge?
the dust particles keep the electrons inside and remake them they dust particles can be swept off but a few remain inside the insulator!!! this is very confusing!!! :) Static electricity can't move in an insulator and it will only lose it's charge if it is earthed.
What rhymes with in charge?
discharge
How static wicks work to discharge the airplane?
It works to discharge static charge
What is a material that does not conduct electrical charge?
Rubber is one. :)
Do insulators conduct charge?
Yes. The idea of an insulator, however, is that it doesn't conduct much electricity. Some electricity (electric charge) will always be conducted, but not much if the material is called an "insulator".
Can charge flow easily through insulators?
"Insulator" means that electrical charge can NOT flow through it easily.
What is the only methold to charge an insulator by?
An electrical charge could be added to an insulator from another source of charge such as a voltage supply, or maybe from a Van de Graaff belt generator. {The one I used generated 50MV at about 12x10^-6 Amperes. }
How does lighting discharge?
When there is a sufficiently strong electrostatic charge, it can cause air molecules to ionize, which are then electrically conductive and create a pathway for the discharge of the electrostatic charge.
