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.
Why do electric cars need to be charged up regularly?
Electric cars run on batteries. Batteries do not have infinite power resources and gradually deplete their energy and either need to be replaced or recharged. It's best to keep your electric car charged up as you never know when you might need every ounce of energy in an emergency situation.
What is changing by contact?
causing a neutral object to become charged by touching it with a charged object.
How do you make negative Charge?
by taking a negatively charged object and touching it with the object that you want to be charged
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.
How does matter become charged?
Matter becomes charged by electric charges, static electricity and an electric field.
The electric force between two charged objects is influenced by?
The electric force between two charged objects is influenced by the distance between them.
Does the space around an electrically charged object is an electric field?
yes the space around a electrically charged object is known as electric field......
What is the region surrounding a charged object in which other objects are attracted or repelled by an electric force called?
Electromagnetic field. An electric field.
What is a region around a charged object where an electric force is present?
electric force
What is the definition off electrical enery?
Electrical energy is energy that's stored in charged particles within an electric field. Electric fields are simply areas surrounding a charged particle. In other words, charged particles create electric fields that exert force on other charged particles within the field. The electric field applies the force to the charged particle, causing it to move - in other words, do work.
When the distance from a charged particle decreases the strength of the electric field does what?
As the distance from a charged particle increases the strength of its electric field DECREASES.
