When the electric charge of to objects decreased what happeneds to the force?

Assuming that the only force on the two objects is an electric force. Felectric = k Q q / r2 This is Coulomb's law. K = electrostatic constant, Q and q are the magnitudes of the point charges, and r is the distance between the point charges. As you can see, if you decrease the magnitude of the charge, the electric force decreases. In other words, the objects are less attracted to one another. aside: gravity happens to be modeled the same way.


What is the difference between electrostatic and static electricity?

Zero.


Would a moving electric charge that is surrounded only by an electric field be an electromagnetic wave?

no


How does the electrical force differ from gravity in its manifestation?

Electric force between electric charges where as the gravitational force is between the masses. Electric force is of two types both attractive and repulsive as like charges repel and unlike charges attract. But gravitational force is of only attractive. Electric force between electric charges. So the constant of proportionality has the electric permittivity property. But in case of gravitation, universal gravitation constant plays the equivalent role. It will be the same irrespective of the medium. In case of electric field, permittivity of the medium differ from each other. THe weakest force is the gravitational force where as the electric force would be comparativeley larger. Relatively moving electric field would bring magnetic field. But moving gravitational field does not produce any such field.


Would a stationary electron produce an electromagnetic wave?

My answer is NO, since vibrating electric charge cannot exist independently (conservation of electric charge cannot be violated). Vibrating electric charge can only exist as part of electric charge wave.

Is a neutron pushing on another neutron a electric force?

Neutrons have no electric charge so there isn't an electric force. Only with electrons and protons.


What is the electric force on two posttives separated by a distance of .5mm?

Not enough information. You not only need to know the distance, but also the electric charge - not just that it is "positive", but the exact amount of charge.

Atoms have NO electric charge, only ions have (+ or -)


What is the basis for the statement that lines of electric force begun and end only on electric charges?

In end part of the wire there is less potential charge we know that charge flow from high potential to low potential so it happenr

Can two neutrons attract each other?

Only when very close to each other. This is not because of the electric force, it is because of the "strong force," or the emission and absorption of gluons between them. This also happens between neutrons and protons.

Can an electric current exert a force on a magnet?

In a conductor - only if the field is moving, thus changing.


What are the force that holds two atoms together?

We've seen that an atom consists of a whole bunch of different kinds of particles. The next logical question (and we do want to be logical, don't we?) is: "What holds it all together?" What makes all this stuff an atom, rather than just a bunch of stuff flying past each other?Well, there are basically two things that hold it together. Two forces, that is. The first of these has to do with electric charge, something I mentioned on the previous page. Electric charge comes in two varieties: positive and negative. The main carriers of positive charge are protons, while the main carriers of negative charge are electrons. (Within protons and neutrons, the quarks themselves carry charge, but this is only important to us in that the net charge of a proton or neutron is equal to the sum of the charges of all its quarks: zero for a neutron, and a small positive amount for a proton.) Every proton carries exactly the same amount of positive charge, and every electron carries a negative charge exactly opposite that of a proton. There are other particles with electric charge, but they tend to live only a very short time before they decay, and so they're mostly unimportant for atoms.The significance of electric charge is that it forms the basis for electric force. Any particle with electric charge will exert a force on any other particle with charge. (And vice versa, of course.) And there are two rules describing the electric force.Opposite charges attract; like charges repel.The force gets weaker as the two charges get farther apart. LOL Anywaz, gtg


What are similarities and differences between the magnetic and electric charge interaction?
