Yes. Stationary electric (electrostatic) fields will act on each other and a force will be developed. If you had a standing electric field and could "beam in" an electron (a la Star Trek), the electron would react at once and move either toward a positive field source or away from a negative field source. The electron would know the field was there the instant it appeared.

Why does a cathode ray tube have low pressure inside?

Low pressure inside a cathode ray tube? How about nopressure inside the tube! In a cathode ray tube, the "cathode ray" is an electron beam that is used to paint a "picture" on the phosphor coating on the inside of the tube. (We look at the "picture" from the other side of the glass on which the coating is laid down - the outside.) An electron is a lightweight little dude. It weighs about 1/1836th as much as a single proton, so anything, any gas atoms that are in the flight path of an electron will cause it to scatter. That means we need to pump all the air out of the inside of the tube. After we remove all we can, we fire a "getter" (a chemical coated onto a small area inside the tube) which will bind any remaining gas molecules left inside the tube to complete the evacuation process. No more pesky atoms to get in the path of the electron beam and scatter it all over the place.


What makes an electric current?

An electric current is the movement of the conduction band electron "gas" in a conductor. This can be induced in various ways:Application of a voltage difference across the conductor.Having magnetic flux lines "cut through" the conductor, which will push the electron "gas" perpendicular to the plane the flux lines "cut".Connecting the conductor to 2 dissimilar metals and placing the metals in an electrolyte. Corrosion of one of the metals will cause current in the conductor.etc.


What is ambipolar transport?

when a pulse of excess electrons and excess holes are created at a particular point in a semiconductor an induced internal electric field will be present between them. This internal electric field will cause the negatively charged electron and positively charged hole to drift or diffuse together with a single effective mobility or diffusion coefficient.

If a stationary electron sat inside a stationary magnetic field would the magnetic field cause the electron to move?

Stationary charge don't produce a magnetic field. because it has no velocity in it, without flow of electron we can't find electricity and for that we have no magnetic field for a stationary charge. It produce only electric field.


What is the ability of light to cause electron movement and electric current?

The ability of light to cause electron movement and electric current is known as the photoelectric effect. When photons of light strike a material, they can transfer their energy to electrons, causing them to be ejected from the material, which can then result in the generation of an electric current.

Why should the Electric field inside a conductor zero?

The electric field inside a conductor is zero because any electric field that is present will cause the charges inside the conductor to move until they distribute themselves in such a way that cancels out the electric field. This redistribution of charges ensures that the net electric field inside the conductor is zero in equilibrium.


What will be the effect on the motion of electron if it travels along the dirction of electric field?

If an electron moves in the direction of an electric field, it will experience an acceleration in the same direction as the field. This will cause the electron's motion to speed up. If the electron is already moving with a velocity in the direction of the electric field, it will continue to move with a constant velocity.

How does an electric generator work?

Converts mechanical energy into electricity. Movement of magnetic field across a conductor will cause electron flow. The windings of a generator are rotated within a magnetic field.
