What else can I help you with?
When did William Methold die?
William Methold died in 1621.
Why does an insulator not lose its charge?
the dust particles keep the electrons inside and remake them they dust particles can be swept off but a few remain inside the insulator!!! this is very confusing!!! :) Static electricity can't move in an insulator and it will only lose it's charge if it is earthed.
The only insulator for a magnetic field is?
distance is the only insulator
How can you create a static charge on an insulator?
You can create a static charge on an insulator by friction, such as rubbing it with a cloth or fur. This causes electrons to transfer between the insulator and the material rubbing against it, leading to a buildup of static electricity on the insulator.
How do you neutralize a charged insulator?
A charged insulator can be neutralized by grounding it, which involves connecting it to the Earth's surface with a conductor. This allows the excess charges to flow away, leaving the insulator with zero net charge. Alternatively, you can also neutralize a charged insulator by introducing an opposite charge to cancel out the excess charges.
If you take out the battery in a capacitor before inserting a dielectric will there still be charge on the dielectric?
The charge in a capacitor is between the plates. The dielectric is only an insulator that allows the plates to be very close without touching and discharging the charge. There is no battery in a capacitor.
What is a material that does not conduct electrical charge?
Rubber is one. :)
Can a conductor attract an insulator?
No, a conductor cannot attract an insulator using electrical charge because insulators do not allow the flow of electrons, making them unable to interact with a conductor's electrical charge.
Is cardbord a conductor or a insulator?
Cardboard is an insulator. It does not conduct electricity as it does not contain free-flowing electrons that can carry an electric charge.
Can charge flow easily through insulators?
"Insulator" means that electrical charge can NOT flow through it easily.
A charged insulator can be discharged by passing it just above a flame explain how?
Passing a charged insulator above a flame can create ions in the air near the insulator due to the high temperature of the flame. These ions can neutralize the charged insulator, allowing it to discharge. The process relies on the ions transferring their charge to the insulator, thereby removing its excess charge.
Is it possible to create an induced charge separation on an insulator?
Yes, it is possible to induce charge separation on an insulator by bringing a charged object close to it. The charged object creates an electric field that polarizes the insulator's atoms, causing the charges within the insulator to separate, resulting in induced charge separation. This phenomenon is the basis for how static electricity works.
