How does positive and negative charges react?
the opposite charges attract each otherWhen they meet as 'particles' the charges would cancel each other out, or 'annihilate' each other, which may be seen as closely equivalent to 'destructive' wave interference (1 peak + 1 trough = smooth surface)
When a negatively charged object approaches a neutral object what sort of charge is induced on the neutral object?
None. That said, most neutral objects we meet in everyday life are composed of positively and negatively charged objects which simply cancel out to give an overall neutral object. This is important because they can create Van der Waal forces, since the positive is a bit stronger than the negative in some areas very close to the object, and vice versa.
How does a lightning bolt form?
Lightning is caused by electric charges releasing energy. When the denser (positive charges) go to the top of the cloud, the less dense (negative charges) go to the bottom. This creates an electric imbalance of charges. In the ground, the negative charges are pushed away because the positive charges are attracted to the negative charges at the bottom of the cloud. If an object is in the way the lightning does what it has to to get to the ground, so it will get there faster. When the lightning is discharged you only glimpse it for a second until it disappears. It can travel 75 m/sec, so even though it creates light it is a release of energy so it doesn't travel at the speed of light.By Brian Hanglightning is not necessarily formed but is just a large build up of static electricity between a point on the ground and the storm cloud. Its when these plus and minus charges come together to form a lightning strike.Lightning is basically static electricity between the cloud and the ground. The cloud has too much of one charge (normally negative), while the ground has too much of the opposite charge (normally positive). The lightning bolt is the name of the electrical discharge between the two objects. It can also be between cloud-tree, cloud-car, or even (ouch!) cloud-human.Electricity in the air.
What happens when oxygen and starch meet?
ha it becomes oxidized starch! for further assistance mail to starchindia@yahoo.com
Do the polyatomic ions meet the requirements to be called compounds?
No, because part of the definition of a compound is a requirement for lack of net electric charge, but any ion by must have a net electric charge.
Why does lightning strike a tree on an open field?
because it meet negative and a positive charge
What happens when lightning strikes the ground?
I read a book by an electrical engineer who said, "When lightning strikes the earth. there is a positive charge in the earth from which sends runners up toward the base of a cumulonimbus cloud which has a negative charge. The negative charge sends out runners toward the runners of positive charge. When the two charges meet, the lightning charge goes toward the earth and the result is a bolt of lightning.
Does lightning strike from the sky or ground?
Actually it does BUT it also comes down from the clouds. Now A positive charge is sent up when the negative charge is sent down. They meet but we only see the one sent up because it is slower.
What the difference between positive and negative electrons?
an electron always has a negative chargea positron is identical in all respects to an electron (sometimes it is called a "positive electron"), except it always has a positive charge and is antimatter (not matter)If an electron and a positron meet they will both cease to exist (annihilation) and gamma ray photons will be created.
What happens when two negative ions meet?
metals are always cations, meaning that all metals are positive, and a bond can't be between two positive molecules. only a positive and a negative. metalloids on the other hand can be positive or negaive
When two waves interfere the displacement where two troughs meet is positive negative zero or a crest?
Negative
Lighting is a form of what?
There are three [ 3 ] main types of lightning:Cloud to groundCloud to cloudIntercloudIn a clear calm atmosphere, electric charge is fairly uniform in the atmosphere. During a thunderstorm, due to the physical processes going on within and around a cloud, areas of the cloud build certain types of charge. The cloud to ground type of lightning, the most interesting and frightening, happens when a negative charge builds up in low levels of a cloud. The surface of the Earth is positively charged. Since these opposite charges attract, when the negative charge builds to a large enough point in the cloud to overcome air resistance, it rushes towards Earth's surface (stepped leader) and a positive charge rushes up from the ground to meet it. When these two charges meet, positive charge is transferred to the cloud, and a flash of lightning, visible to the human eye, is born.By: Kristhie I. Alcazar Hernandez ! :] ♥
How do you plot positive and negative integers on quadrant graph?
The horizontal axis can be used with zero where the axes meet. usually the positive are to the right and negative to the left. but any axis can be used if defined as such.
What is the major cause in hurricane formation?
When 2 kinds of wind meet and join together , negative + positive or negative + negative it will form i surge between them , so that will make a Typhoon
Where two waves interfere the displacment where two troughs meet is?
When two waves interfere, the displacement where two troughs meet is negative.
Is facebook a positive or negative social networking site?
you cant really say it positive or negative,everything has disadvantages and advantages. it totaly depend how you use it and time you spend on it! i mean to go out and meet real life is defiantly better than hiding behind the screen! at the same time its a great way to meet new friends:)!
When is a temperature referred to as minus zero?
The term "minus zero" is mathematically pointless, since zero is neither positive nor negative, being the exact point at which positive numbers meet negative numbers on the number line. Zero is just zero.
