Does the radius increase if a charged rod is brought closer to a gas filled balloon?
Sandalian
If a charged rod is brought close to a gas filled balloon, one will notice a change in shape in the balloon. In short, the charge of the rod works on the molecules of the gas within the balloon and cause the balloon to elongate.Ê

∙ 11y agoThis is not so simple, but if a one word answer is required, the balloon is slightly larger, so "yes.".
The balloon would feel forces tending to elongate it, i.e. give it more of an ellipsoidal shape. The shape change would be small and likely unobservable without specialized equipment. The ellipsoidal shape has a major and minor axis and so not a single "radius" to be characterized.
The shape changes because there is an induced polarization of the neutral balloon caused by the nearby charge. This charge separation due to polarization pulls the nearer surface towards the rod and pushes the further surface away. The surface of the balloon therefore feels different outward forces on different regions, but the predominant result is additional outward force and hence an enlarged balloon.
As stated above, the enlargement is not uniform and may actually result in the short axis of the ellipsoid being smaller than the original radius and the long axis larger, but the change in volume should be larger. But, this must be a very very small effect, unobservable unless special conditions are created to observe it.

Medium balloon and small balloon filled with hellium which holds more heat?
Small Balloon because it is smaller the heat is compacted and closer so the smaller balloon has more heat.
How do you increase electrostatic forces between two charged objects?
Increase one charge by four times. APEX.
When an electron is brought near a negatively charge plate its electric potential energy is?
As an electron is brought closer to a negatively charged plate, its potential energy increases. Since like charges repel, the electron has to be "brought" near the negatively charged plate ... it'll never go there on its own. You have to push it there, meaning you have to do work on it, and that work adds to the potential energy of the electron. As soon as you let it go, it'll whizz AWAY from the negatively charged plate, and that energy you put into it will turn into the kinetic energy of a hasty retreat.
What would you expect to happen to a balloon filled with air it was put into a refrigerator?
As it gets colder the air molecules move closer together and the balloon deflates.
Does an electric get weaker the closer you get to the charged object?
sooo true ;-;

What will happen to the particles inside a balloon when it is squeezed?
They will be pushed closer together.
What is formed when positively charged particles and negatively charged particles attract each other?
when a positively charged ion & a negetively charged ion are brought closer to each other a bond is formed:"AN ELECTRO STATIC FORCE OF ATTRACTIONTHAT BINDS TO OPPOSITLY CHARGEDIONS OR MOLECULES IN AN CRYSTAL IS CALLEDA BOND"there are many kinds of bonds some of them are described below.......ionic or electrovalent bondcovalent bonddative-covalent bondpolar covalent bondnon-palar covalent bondmattalic bondfor example:Na+ ion is brought closer to Cl- ion an ionic bond is produced.

Why do balloons get smaller when put in a freezer?
Balloons can be considered a container. containers contain something. A balloon contains CO2, assuming you blew into it. When you put something in a freezer is makes it cooler. making the molecules of CO2 to get closer together making the walls of the balloon to "cave in" making it shrink.

As an object is brought closer to the lens of a camera the image is?
when an object is brought closer to the lens of a camera it gets smaller so that we could capture it properly. such lenses in a camera are conclave.
What is closer to nucleus the stronger the attractive force?
When it is close to the nucleus because the postively charged protons attract the negatively charged electrons
Has English brought the world closer?
yes i think so that english has brought the world closer because in america ( U.S.A.) the people always speaks in english.so in india many people are trying to speak in english to bring their world closer as in america (U.S.A.).
