How is the charge distributed on a non-spherical conductor?
Charge density would be more where the curvature is more. So pointed surface would have max charge density. Hence there is a chance of electrical discharge at the sharp points. This is known as Corona Discharge or Action of Points
Why is iron a conductor of electricity?
iron is a high density metal, thus a very good conductor of electricity
How does one charge a conductor negatively if you have only a positively charged rod?
1ST. ground the conductor 2nd. move the positive rod CLOSE but NOT TOCUH the conductor u r trying to charge. 3. REMOVE the grouding wire on the conductor
Why is difficult to change a metallic conductor which is held with hands?
It is difficult to charge a metallic conductor that is held with hands because the charge generated will be grounded through our bodies.
Material through which charge can easily flow?
Conductor.
The relative distribution of charge density on the surface of a conducting solid depends on what?
the density of the conductor
If a conductor is placed in a uniform electric field does the conductor gain any charge?
The conductor will not gain any charge that is not placed on it by you. However, the electric field will displace the free charges already within the conductor (by its nature) such that there will be a non-uniform surface charge density. Remember: a conductor must have zero electric field inside it, so the charges rearrange to cancel the external E-field. Again, this only repositions the existing charge, but it does not add or remove any charge.

The ability of a conductor to take on a charge is called its?
The ability of a conductor to take on charge is called its conductance.
Which metal serves the best conductor of electric charge?
the metal that serves as the best conductor of electric charge is the METAL
When an electric charge moves through a conductor there is an electric in the conductor?
current
What is the property of a conductor that opposes the flow of charge passing through it is called?
property of a conductor that opposes the flow of charge passing through it
Where does the excess charge on a copper rod flow to if you don't use an insulator?
If you connect the rod with a conductor, part of the charge will flow to the conductor.
Why is iron a conductor of electricity?
iron is a high density metal, thus a very good conductor of electricity
What density current?
Current density is the amount of electrical current flowing in a unit of cross sectional area of that conductor. You'd look at the current flowing and the cross sectional area of the conductor and make a calculation from that. All you need do is decide on what unit of cross sectional area you wish to use. In wire, we usually use mils. Use the links below for more information.Density current is the measure of the density of flow of a conserved charge
