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

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.


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.


Do electric trains cause pollution?

The trains themselves do not cause pollution, but the source of the power such as a coal burning power plant does.


Why was the electric iron invented?

The electric car was invented so the earth can stay alive and healthy, meaning we humans stay alive 'cause of all the healthy trees and plants.

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

The photo-electric effect is the ability of light to cause the movement of electrons, which is called an electric current.

What are electric shocks so bad for you?

Electric shocks can be harmful for several reasons. The main danger comes from the electrical current disrupting the normal functioning of the body's electrical system, potentially leading to heart arrhythmias or damage to vital organs. Additionally, electric shocks can cause burns and tissue damage at the point of contact with the electricity. Immediate medical attention is crucial following an electric shock to assess and manage any potential injuries.


How do you remove rear shocks on a 1988 mercury grand marquis?

The shocks are there for a reason. Removing them would cause damage.


Can stun gun shocks cause seizures?

yes!!


Can petting your cat cause static electricity?

Yes, although it's easier to generate an electric charge on some cats than others. Also, both cats and dogs can be filled with static electricity especially if they are running around on carpeting. I've had mild shocks off my cat and 2 dogs, although it's not certain where the charge developed.


Can an electric eel have enough electrical power to kill a diver?

No. One electrical shock from an electric eel does not have enough power to kill a human, even a diver. Multiple electric shocks can cause cardiac arrest and disruption of the nervous system, but not enough to kill a person. Drowning from the shock is the biggest killer, not the shock itself.

How do you replace the shocks on a 2001 Lincoln Town Car?

you do mean shocks and not airbags right? well, you change shocks on the rear just like any other car with them but on a Lincoln the best way is to have the car resting all the way down,"with the airbag switch off". place a jack directly on the rearend and raise the vehical a little to release tension off the bolts. it's easier to put them on this way cause when you buy new shocks they are already compressed and its hard to pull or extend a compressed shock.
