... where the total amount of charge changed.


When an atom is said to be charged?

Ordinarily, atoms are electrically neutral, for they have an equal number or electrons and protons. If however, some of the electrons have been stripped off, then the atom will have a nett positive charge. In this condition, it may be accelerated and steered by electrical forces. (Or magnetic forces as well.)


How does static electricity change the charges of an object?

Static electricity is produced by an object rubs up against another object, which in turn transfers electrons from one object to another.Static Electricity, a motionless electrical charge, as compared to current electricity. Static electricity occurs when an electrical charge builds up because of friction between two different objects, this usually occurs when the two items are not good at conducting electricity. Never confuse static electricity with current electricity. Current electricity should only be handled by qualified personnel.


How can you tell when static electricity has been discharged?

Static electricity is an imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material. The charge remains until it is able to move away by means of an electric current or electrical discharge. Static electricity is named in contrast with current electricity, which flows through wires or other conductors and transmits energy.[1] A static electric charge can be created whenever two surfaces contact and have worn and separated, and at least one of the surfaces has a high resistance to electric current (and is, therefore, an electrical insulator). The effects of static electricity are familiar to most people because people can feel, hear, and even see the spark as the excess charge is neutralized when brought close to a large electrical conductor (for example, a path to ground), or a region with an excess charge of the opposite polarity (positive or negative). The familiar phenomenon of a static shock – more specifically, an electrostatic discharge – is caused by the neutralization of charge.

Do people who have been struck by lightning carry an electrical charge and can they be touched?

People who have been struck by Lightning does not carry a residual charge. Lightning goes straight through the body and into the ground. There would be no electrical charge left and they would be safe to touch.


Does dark matter have an electrical charge?

Based on just a few simple things that popular news magazines mentionwhen they talk about the weird subject of dark matter, we're pretty safein assuming that dark matter has no electrical charge.-- No place in the universe is known to have dark matter.-- Dark matter is hypothesized ("just a theory") but has never been observed.-- It can't have an electrical charge, because if it did, then---- it would interact with other observed electrical charges and observed electromagnetic fields,------ which is exactly what it doesn't do,-------- which is why it has never been observed and is called "dark" matter.


What is a warrant to appear for the charge of battery?

Battery, in legal terms (as opposed to electrical terms) is assault which damages someone. If a warrant has been issued for you to appear for the charge of battery, it means that you have been accused of this crime and must appear in court, to be tried.

How does one charge a sealed lead acid battery?

The basic lead acid battery is ancient and a lot of different charge methods have been used. But one way is to charge these batteries at a float voltalge of 2.25 to 2.3 volts/cell (at 25 degrees C) (13.5V to 13.8V for a 12V battery).
