Why it can be said that matter has an electric nature?

Well, matter is atomic by nature, and probably tiny quantum energy strings. Matter is "electrical" in the sense that the outer shells of elements swap electrons to form compounds with atomic bonds.


Is there any distance at which the gravitational force between two electrons is greater than the electric force between them?

No. Both forces obey an inverse-square law, so the ratio of electric to gravitational force will always be the same, for the same pair of particles - no matter the distance.No. Both forces obey an inverse-square law, so the ratio of electric to gravitational force will always be the same, for the same pair of particles - no matter the distance.No. Both forces obey an inverse-square law, so the ratio of electric to gravitational force will always be the same, for the same pair of particles - no matter the distance.No. Both forces obey an inverse-square law, so the ratio of electric to gravitational force will always be the same, for the same pair of particles - no matter the distance.


What subatomic particle is always equal in neutral atoms?

protons and electrons will always be = number


An electric field is always present around?

an electron


What are three facts about electric field lines?

1. Electric field lines of force originate from the positive charge and terminate at the negative charge. 2. Electric field lines of force can never intersect each other. 3. Electric field lines of force are not present inside the conductor, it is because electric field inside the conductor is always zero. 4. Electric field lines of force are always perpendicular to the surface of conductor. 5. Curved electric field lines are always non-uniform in nature.

What refers to electric current when electrons always flow in the same direction in the wire?

When electrons always flow in the same direction in the wire it is known a DC (direct current).


What is the deficit always than the public debt?

The deficit is always smaller than the public debt.


How can copper can relate with electric because copper is 2 plus and electric is negative and positive?

Electric current is always the flow of electrons ... negative charges. The only requirement for a substance to be a good conductor of electric current is that it must have electrons on its outer layer that are relatively easy to tear away from the atom.


What are the two common sources of electrons in a electric circuit?

The electrons are always there, for example in the metal. You don't need a special "source" for electrons in a circuit. What you DO need is a voltage source, i.e., something that pushes the electrons around.


Whether fiscal deficit is always bad?

Fiscal deficit is not always bad.... deficit arises from two parts - capital deficit and revenue deficit. now revenue deficit is obviously bad for economy stating that we are not able to pull money sufficient to meet our revenue and there is no asset creation. on the other hand if major fiscal deficit is coming from capital deficit its not all that a bad news. after all asset creation is taking place. n such moves are welcome.


What two things are always equal within an atom?

The number of protons in the atom's nucleus and the total number of electrons in the electron shells of that atom.


How does magnets produce electricity?

An electric current will always be surrounded by a magnetic field. The reason for the relationship is not exactly obvious; it has been explained by Albert Einstein in his paper "On the electrodynamics of moving bodies".

What determines the direction of Electric?

The potential difference. The electrons flows from a lower potential to a higher potential. The electric current flows in the opposite direction. The electric field's direction is always from a higher potential to a lower potential. Its kind of like a waterfall. The water always falls down not up. It goes from a higher potential to a lower potential.


What is the reason for fiscal deficit in India?

The fiscal deficit in India is not fundamentally different from the fiscal deficit in any other country. The public always wants more government spending but they do not want more government taxes. The government attempts to oblige, by borrowing money. The result is a deficit.
