How can you tell when an object has been statically charged?

I you touch it, and it shocks you, then it was statically charged.


What is the meaning of statically charged?

To be statically charged means that an object has more of one type of particles than another. For example, if an object with more electrons than protons is negatively charged so we say that the object has built up a static charge.


When outer electrons are removed do they become statically charged?

yes


What is the worlds largest engine?

In our atmosphere, about the size of the earth. Perpetual and statically charged.


Which material get easily charged by rubbing and what such material is called?

An insulator Becomes statically charged when rubbed against another insulator


What happens when an isolated conductor is statically charged?

The charge is evenly spread inside and outside


Are materials that can be statically charged conductors or insulators?

Either one can acquire a static charge.


What can happen when an charged object can be brought near an uncharged object?

A neutrally charged object can still be affected by a charged object. If a neutrally charged object is being approached by a negatively charged objects, the electrons within the neutrally charged object will migrate to the other side (as the two negative charges repel), leaving the side closes to the negative object positive. Protons do not move. From there, the protons are attracted to the electrons, therefore moving the 'uncharged' object.


Does a charged object effect an non charged object?

No.


What happens to the force between charged and uncharged objects as the distance between them increased?

as the distance is increased statically induced charge in the uncharged object reduced to a minimum. Thus coulombic force which is directly proportional to the product of the charges tends to 0.


How is the charge on a charged object maintained?

If the object remains ungrounded it will remain charged.


What happens to the force exerted between charged and uncharged objects as the distance increases between them?

As the distance is increased, statically induced charge in the uncharged object is reduced to a minimum. Thus coulombic force which is directly proportional to the product of the charges tends to 0
