Why is electric potential inside a ring conductor on a conducting paper that has elctric field zero?

As long as there is any electric potential, charges continue moving around, until everything is balanced.


What is a pair of electric charges called?

flow of electricity through a conductor are electric charges


What device uses chemical energy to give charges electric potential energy?

The device that uses chemical energy to give charges electric potential energy is a battery because it uses chemical energy which gives off potential electric charges.


What transmits heat light sound and electric charges?

A conductor.


What is the properties of material that is durable and conductor of electricity?

There is no electric field inside a conductor.Otherwise, the charges in the conductor would move.Charges exist only on the surface of a conductor.Otherwise, there would be electric fields inside.All points of a conductor are at the same potential.Since DV=-EDx, since E=0, the potential must be constant.


What is the flow of electric charges in a conductor?

False... That is called an electrical current.


Is electric current and current the same thing?

Not really. You can compare them with the analogy of water flowing through a pipe. For water to flow, there must be a pressure difference across the ends of the pipe. An electric current is a movement of electric charges along a conductor. For those charges to move, there must be a voltage (more accurately, a 'potential difference') across the ends of the conductor. So a potential difference is required to cause current to flow.


What is the nature of the charges generated by rubbing?

when we hit someone, he generates electric charges &he begins to dance & sing songsss.


How does the vast static electric charges that cause lightining are formed by natural processes?

it is formed by the electric discharge b/w clouds & the earth. during days of thunderstorm water droplets in clouds acquire charges due to polarisation.Hence it is at a higher potential.Whereas earth in comparison to it is at a much lower potential .So,charge flows from clouds to abnormally air is a non conductor of electricity , but with high potential difference, air gets polarised.Thus becomes a good conductor & charges flows down to earth.


What are materials that allow electric charges to move easily?

I know that one is a Conductor


What is the force of attraction or repulsion generated by moving or spinning electric charges?

it is magnetic force


When is a conductor said to be in ''electrostatic equilibrium''?

That means that no electric forces act on charges, and therefore, charges won't move around.
