What else can I help you with?
Can conductors be charged By friction?
Yes, conductors can become charged by friction through a process called triboelectric charging. This occurs when two different materials come into contact and transfer electrons, resulting in one material becoming positively charged and the other becoming negatively charged.
Negativley charged particles move easily through what materials?
conductors
What do you call materials which can be used to discharge a charged object to the earth?
Conductors are materials that can be used to discharge a charged object to the earth by allowing the excess charge to flow through them. Metals like copper and aluminum are good conductors due to their ability to easily transfer electrons.
Are materials that can be statically charged conductors or insulators?
Materials that can be statically charged can be either conductors or insulators. Conductors allow electricity to flow through them easily, which can lead to static charging under certain conditions. Insulators, on the other hand, do not conduct electricity well and can also become statically charged due to the buildup of excess charge.
How do charged conductors and insulators differ from each other?
Insulators prevent electricity or energy from going through them. Conductors allow electricity/energy to easily pass through.
Electrically charged particles move through materials that are classified as electrical conductors?
Electrons. A current.
Why we called it three phase?
Because there are three positive charged conductors and there is electrical pressure in between.
What is the size of the electric field inside any charged conductors?
Inside a conductor, it's zero.
What are the methods of charging a conductor?
Conductors can be charged by conduction (direct contact with a charged object), induction (placing a charged object near the conductor), or friction (rubbing two objects together to transfer charge).
Why do we say that in metal conductors, electrons move but protons don't?
In metal conductors, electrons move because they are negatively charged particles that can flow freely. Protons, on the other hand, are positively charged particles that are tightly bound within the nucleus of an atom and do not move easily in a conductor.
What is a closed loop of conductors through which charged flow?
A closed loop of conductors through which charged flow is called an electric circuit. In an electric circuit, the flow of electric charge is typically driven by a power source, such as a battery or generator, and can be used to power various electrical devices or systems. The conductors within the circuit provide a path for the flow of charge, allowing electricity to circulate continuously.
Contrast the movement of charge in insulators and conductors during induction when a charged object is brought near them?
In insulators, the movement of charge is minimal because they do not have free electrons available for movement. In conductors, the electrons are free to move, so they redistribute themselves within the material in response to the presence of the charged object. This redistribution of charge in conductors allows them to be influenced by induction more effectively than insulators.
