Where the net electric force is zero between two point charge that apart?
It depends on the amount of charge and nature of charge i.e. whether positive or negative
If the leaves of an electroscope spread apart it indicates that?
It indicates that the leaves of the electroscope have received a charge.
Is electrical force much weaker than the force of gravity?
No, it's much stronger. Take two metal balls, each with one kilogram of mass, set them down 1 meter apart, and measure the gravitational force between them. Then take two tissue paper balls, put one coulomb of charge on each one, set them down 1 meter apart, and measure the electrical force between them. The force between the coulombs is about 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times as strong as the gravitational force between the kilograms. (that's about 1040.) You can pick up pieces of tissue with a little bit of electrical charge on a comb or a balloon ... that little bit of charge on a comb is stronger than the whole earth's gravity pulling the bits of tissue downward. Also, you can't pick up bits of tissue with a bowling ball, no matter how heavy it is, if it's not charged. Gravity isn't strong enough.
Why dont charged nuclei repel each other in a plasma?
They do. In those plasmas which don't fly apart there are other factors. In plasmas for fusion power, the plasmas are constrained by magnetic forces which keep the material in proximity. There is also the strong nuclear force. This is a very strong force, with a very short range. If two positively charged nuclei can be forced close enough together, then the strong nuclear force, which pulls them together, will become more powerful than the electromagnetic force, which pushes them apart. Then they form one nucleus, and spit out a lot of energy, and sometimes a neutron.
The electrical force is much weaker than the force of gravity?
Well, actually no. You can pick up pieces of tissue with a little bit of electrical charge on a comb or a balloon. But you can't pick them up with a bowling ball, no matter how heavy it is, if it's not charged. Gravity isn't strong enough. Take two metal balls, each with one kilogram of mass, set them down 1 meter apart, and measure the gravitational force between them. Then take two tissue paper balls, put one coulomb of charge on each one, set them down 1 meter apart, and measure the electrical force between them. The force between the coulombs is about 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times as strong as the gravitational force between the kilograms. As my beloved mentor E. M. Hafner used to tell us at the U of R : If each kilogram of mass in the earth and each kilogram of mass in you was a coulomb of charge, you'd still fall down, but you'd just fall down 1040 harder.
How strong is shao kahn physically?
He is strong enough to blow people apart with his hammer, can rip a human in half, and easily throws raiden across a roof.
What pushes cracks in rocks farther apart?
Usually ice ! When water freezes to ice it expands slightly - It's strong enough to force rocks to split.
What happens when a bond is strong but the couple is far apart?
If most relationships are strong and the couples are ok with being apart it can be a good relationship.
You dropped your cellphone inside of the ebrake of your car ive tried to grab it with tongs duct tape and chop stix but nothing is strong enough or thin enough to grab it what should you do?
Take your e brake apart
What happens during ice wedging?
when water freezes, it expands. when water freezes in cracks and pores of rocks, the force of its expansion is strong enough to split the rocks apart.
Space the taxiway lights apart in the curved sections and apart in the straight sections?
25 50
What is a stronger word for tearing apart?
A strong word to tear your friend apart is to DISCOURAGE.
Why does tornadoes cause a great deal of damage in a community?
Tornadoes have very powerful winds that, in some cases, are strong enough to tear buildings apart. When a strong enough tornado hits a structure fragments of it can be turned into high-speed projectiles that can cause even more damage when they hit other structures.
What can you do if all your teeth are straight apart from one?
Go to the dentist
What are two straight lines called?
Two straight lines that remain equal distance apart are parallel lines.
What shapes will you end up with if you take apart a triangle?
a straight line?
The force between protons would do if there weren't neutrons in the nucleus?
Two main forces act in an atom, the electromagnetic force and the strong force. The electromagnetic force pulls the nucleus apart, while the strong force holds it together. Both neutrons and protons contribute to the strong force, but only protons contribute to the electromagnetic force. If an atom has too many protons and not enough neutrons, the electromagnetic force will overpower the strong force, and the nucleus will rip apart into more stable forms.
