What is the principle reservoir for excess electric charge?
In common practice, the principle reservoir for electric charge is a battery. Fuel cells, which are like batteries except with external reactant sources, are becoming more widely used as electric reservoirs. In pure circuit design, the capacitor is used as the charge reservoir.
What particles call electric charge?
Electrons are called electric charge. They are responsible for electric current.
Are atoms the carry an electric charge?
Atoms have NO electric charge, only ions have (+ or -)
Which particle has no electric charge?
A neutron - also a neutrino has no electric charge.
What do you call an atom when it has an electric charge?
An atom with an electrical charge is called an ion.
What is the common name for touching a charged object to an infinite reservoir for electric charge?
I believe the term is "grounding"

What is the Difference between line charge density and surface charge density?
The electric field of an infinite line charge with a uniform linear charge density can be obtained by a using Gauss' law. Considering a Gaussian surface in the form of a cylinder at radius r, the electric field has the same magnitude at every point of the cylinder and is directed outward. The electric flux is then just the electric field times the area of the cylinder.
Why is the electric field of an infinite charged sheet not infinite?
This is a matter of limits. If you are measuring the electric field at a point that is a distance off of an infinite sheet of charge the direction of the electric field will be perpendicular to the sheet due to the symmetry of the situation. We can think of the radius as the distance between a point on the sheet and the normal line to the sheet that passes through the point where the electric field is being considered. If we look at the addition to the electric field from the charge on the sheet as this radius approaches infinity the component of the electric field in the direction of the net electric field will approach 0.P.S. Drawing a diagram of the situation with arrows denoting the directions of force from different parts of the sheet can be very helpful in understanding.
What effect does grounding have on a charged object?
To ground an object means to connect it through a conductor to the ground, or Earth. Grounding is a way to prevent an electric charge from building on an object, or to get rid of an electric charge.
What are the kinds of electric charge?
The kinds of electric charge are positive charge and negative charge
If you have two particles of charge 3q and -q along the x axis how can you mathematically demonstrate the zero electric field point past the -q charge?
objects with charges and q and 3q are placed on a lineBesides an infinite distance away from the charges, where else can the electric field possibly be zero
Which of the following is true about the electric field around an electric charge?
The electric field around an electric charge varies inversely as the square of the distance to the charge.
What is every electric charge surrounded by?
Every electric charge is surrounded by an electric field.
What particles call electric charge?
Electrons are called electric charge. They are responsible for electric current.
What causes electric charge to separate?
Electric Charge!.... i think is right :)
What are the properties of an electric charge?
The various properties of electric charge :1.Additivity of charges2.Charge is conserved3.Quantization of charge
