Yes the Earth has a vertical electric field that points down. So if you were to try and calculate the amount of excess charge on the Earth's surface, you would get a negative value.
Atoms normally contain equal numbers of protons and electrons. The amount of positive charge on a single proton is identical to the amount of negative charge on a single electron. So atoms and, therefore, the body from which they are formed, are normally neutral because the amount of positive charge is exactly countered by the amount of negative charge. A body acquires a charge if there is an imbalance between the number of protons and electrons within its atoms. If the electrons outnumber the protons, then the body acquires a negative charge; if the protons outnumber the electrons, then the body acquires a positive charge. The amount of charge is determined by the amount of imbalance between protons and electrons. WebRep currentVote noRating noWeight
It has a negative charge, as it is located on the left side of "the staircase" on the periodic table.
I think it is a positive charge!!
The Earth carries a negative charge, as the electric field due to excess negative charge on the Earth points downward.
Iodide ions have a negative charge of -1 due to the gain of an extra electron by an iodine atom. This charge results from the imbalance of protons (positive charge) and electrons (negative charge) in the ion.
The amount of charge on the sphere is the total electric charge present on the surface of the sphere.
equal but opposite
The surface charge density on the disks is the amount of electric charge per unit area on the surface of the disks.
Yes, it is possible for charge density to be negative. Charge density refers to the amount of electric charge per unit volume, and it can be negative if there is an excess of negative charges in a given volume.
Electrons have a negative charge. Therefore, an atom having extra electrons is a negative ion.
total amount of positive or negative electric charge.
If an object has both positive and negative charges in different regions, it can still have an overall neutral charge if the total amount of positive charge is equal to the total amount of negative charge. This results in a cancellation of the charges, making the object neutral overall.
To determine the surface charge density of an object, you can divide the total charge on the object by its surface area. This will give you the amount of charge per unit area on the object's surface.
Niether. Our hair are electrically neutral as they are insulators. However by friction, it is possible to charge them either positive or negative.
The mass of an object does not change when it receives a negative charge. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, and adding or removing charge does not alter the amount of matter present.
The linear charge density on the inner surface of the conducting shell is the amount of charge per unit length along that surface.
When an object receives a negative charge, there is no change in its mass. Mass is a fundamental property of matter that is not affected by the addition or removal of charge. The negative charge simply alters the distribution of electrons on the object's surface.
