What else can I help you with?
To electricity and magnetism What do we mean when we say that the object is been grounded?
When an object is grounded, it means that it is connected to the Earth through a conductor, such as copper wire, to allow charges to move freely between the object and the Earth. This helps to prevent the buildup of excess charge on the object and protects against electrical shock or damage from static electricity.
What kind of charge can move from object to object?
Electrons can move from object to object. Electrons have a negative charge. So if an object is determined to have a positive charge, then some of the electrons have moved from the object to somewhere else. Something with a neutral charge has the same number of electrons [-] and protons [+]. If electrons [-] leave, then there will be more protons, and a net positive charge. If an object gains electrons, then the object has a net negative charge.
A charged object does not affect an object that has no charge?
This statement is not accurate. A charged object can still interact with an object that has no charge through electrostatic forces. The charged object can induce a charge on the neutral object and attract or repel it, depending on the type of charges involved.
What property does earth have that enables grounding to drian static charge?
Earth has a property known as "electrical conductivity," which allows it to absorb and dissipate static charge when grounded. When an object with static charge comes into contact with the Earth, the excess electrons flow into the ground, neutralizing the charge and preventing static buildup.
Static in static electricity describes what property of the charge?
The "static" in static electricity describes that the charge is unmoving, or staying in one place. A movement of electrons is not occuring, however there is an electrical charge. The opposite would be current electricity that flows, and that you would find in electric cords, etc...
What does discharging an object mean?
Discharging an object means removing excess electrical charge from it. This can be done by allowing the charge to flow to another object or to the ground, helping to balance the electrical potential of the object. This process is important to prevent static electricity buildup and reduce the risk of electrical shocks.
Does any object have electrical charge?
Yes, some objects have an electrical charge.
What do you call the movement of an electrical charge from one object to another?
static charge
Which process is the method by which a neutral object obtains an electrical charge?
induction
How does an electrically polarized object different from an electrically charged object?
It will still have a electrical charge.
Electrical charge that builds up in an object?
static electricity
What is repel in electricity?
Repel means to push away.With electricity- An object with positive electrical charge will repel another object with positive electrical charge.(.....My 9yr old daughter just told me this)
What determines the electrical potential energy of a charge?
The electrical potential energy of a charge is determined by both its charge and the electric field in which it resides. The potential energy increases with the charge of the object and how much it is separated from another object with opposite charge. The direction of the electric field also influences the potential energy of a charge.
What is the charge of a netron?
assuming you mean a "neutron" - it has no electrical charge.
How do you direct electrical charge away from an object?
An electrical charge is attracted to a conducter (ie a material which conducts such as copper) therefore you can either use something more conductive leading away, or insulate the object.
Must an object be electrically charged as well for it to be attracted by a charged object?
Provide your second object is an insulator, - able to carry an electrical charge - it will have an electrical charge induced on it by the presence of a nearby electrically charged object. So, the second object does not need to have its own independent electrical charge, it is sufficient that it can carry one.
What holds an electrical charge?
An electrical charge is held by particles called electrons and protons. Electrons carry a negative charge while protons carry a positive charge, and they are found within atoms. When there is an imbalance of electrons or protons, an object can have a net electrical charge.
