Is an electric charge a property of just electricity or is charge a property of all atoms?
Atoms contain both positive (protons) and negative (electrons) electric charges. But in the vast majority of atoms these positive and negative electric charges balance, canceling and resulting in zero total electric charge. When electrons detach from atoms we generate electricity. Where there are fewer electrons there is a positive charge. Where there are more electrons there is a negative charge. When two places have different charges we get an electric voltage. When electrons flow from a negatively charged place to a positively charged place we get an electric current.
What does a collection of free electrons in one place create?
A collection of free electrons in one place creates an electric charge. These free electrons can move under the influence of an electric field, leading to the flow of electric current.
Does ionic compounds counduct an electric current in the molten state?
Yes, ionic compounds can conduct electricity in the molten state because the ions are free to move and carry an electric charge. In the molten state, the forces holding the ions in place are weakened, allowing them to move and conduct the electric current.
WHY do ionic compounds conduct an electric current when they are melted or dissolved in water?
Ionic compounds conduct electricity when melted or dissolved in water because their ions become mobile and are able to carry electric charge through the solution. In the solid state, ions are locked in place and cannot move to conduct electricity.
What happens to a positively charged object place within a positive electric field?
It will be pushed away from the source of the electric field.
What is the movement of static charge from one place to another?
Static Discharge:Perhaps you see a spark jump between your hand and the doorknob. The spark is an example of an electric discharge. An electric discharge is the movement of static charge from one place to another. The spark you saw was the result of a static charge moving between your hand and the doorknob.
A person who travels to another place for a holiday?
A person who travels to another place for a holiday is a tourist.
What is electric charge build up one place?
builds a charge in one place
What is a rapid movement of excess charge from one place to another?
A rapid movement of excess charge from one place to another is known as an electrical discharge. This phenomena can result in lightning, electric sparks, or discharge in electronic devices.
What must there be for a flow of charge from one place to another?
For a flow of charge from one place to another, there must be a potential difference or voltage present. This potential difference creates an electric field that exerts a force on charged particles, causing them to move and create an electric current. Additionally, there must be a conductor or medium through which the charged particles can flow.
What is the Electric charge that has built up in one place referred to as?
The electric charge that has built up in one place is referred to as static electricity.
What is an oscillation that travels from one place to another?
A wave
Does static stay in one place?
Yes, static electricity occurs when there is a buildup of electric charge on an object's surface. The charge remains stationary until it is discharged by coming into contact with a conductor or another object with opposite charge.
Is an electric current a flow of charge?
Electrons are a negative charge. Using conventional notation current flows from positive to negative poles of a battery, for example. In electron flow convention the electrons flow from negative to positive.
What travels from one place to another during a wave motion?
Energy travels from one place to another during a wave motion. Particles in the medium may also oscillate in place as the wave passes through, but they do not permanently move from one location to another.
What travels from what place to another yet is always stuck in a corner?
A stamp
If you place a charge into an electric fieldit will move in the direction indicated by the electric field lines?
Yes, a charge placed in an electric field will experience a force in the direction of the field lines due to the interaction between the charge and the field. The charge will move along the field lines if it is free to do so.
